[IDD #UGW-571113]: IDD / CONDUIT access via ldm

> Hi Unidata...

Hi Mike, 

> my name is Mike Zulauf, and I work as a meteorologist for Iberdrola
> Renewables, a wind energy company in Portland Oregon.  We utilize output
> from the operational forecast models from NCEP (primarily GFS - but also
> NAM, etc) in both our operational and development meteorology groups.
> We utilize ldm to download observational data (MADIS) from NOAA.  I was
> wondering whether it would be possible for us to access the IDD /
> CONDUIT ldm feed from Unidata.  In my experience the reliability and
> latency of the ldm feed is far superior to accessing the data via
> ftp/http.

Yes, LDM/IDD is a much more efficient method than ftp/http. :)

> I realize that Unidata's primary goal is to aid educational and research

Yes, that is our charter via the NSF.


 Iberdrola, however, is involved in research in
> collaboration with various groups - most notably NOAA's  Wind Forecast
> Improvement Project (WFIP), which has participants such as Jim Wilczak
> and Andy Stern.
> 
> Any help or information you could give me on accessing CONDUIT data,
> either from Unidata, or by other sources, would be greatly appreciated.


We are exploring options and will get back to you soon.
