[IDD #LFN-158105]: LDM/IDD for Universidad de Guadalajara

Hi Luis,

OK.

The GFS ensembles (GEFS are available in the CONDUIT datastream.  I don't
believe that the HWRF model output is available in any NOAAPort-derived
or other IDD datastream.

The license that UAlbany has from Vaisala allows point-to-point distribution
of the NLDN lightning data to U.S. universities only.  Their agreement
explicitly excludes all others, and it does not permit for the NLDN data
to accessed/used outside of the receiving site's campus.

re:

I hope that the comments about the model output and NLDN data help.

Cheers,

Tom
