John,
We came across an issue with how OPeNDAP is handling one of the variables (1-hour Quantitative Precip Estimate) in the RFC dataset. It seems that via OPeNDAP there is way to subset the data, but only get the entire variable. It works fine through cdmremote, and the other variable seems to be doing well. Any clue what is going on here?
No, can you send me the URL thats failing?

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:9080/thredds/dodsC/grib/NPVU/RFC/KALR-Southeast-RFC.ascii?1-hour_Quantitative_Precip_Estimate_surface_1_Hour_Accumulation[0:1:0][0:1:0][0:1:0]

Which I would think would bring back one value, but apparently does not.

it seems to be returning a 403. anyway a bug we will get fixed.


Also, now that you have ironed out the grib issues a bit, should we move ahead with serving up this dataset from our end? This is highly sought after data for one of our projects, and they are working on the plan for using this data going forward.

The variable names are all going to change (probably), so you will have to deal with that if you start using it now. Otherwise, its probably pretty stable, but some weeks before we can move it to our production server.

We can deal with changes to this data. Would it make sense for us to target motherlode as a realtime server and start building up an archive on our end?

yeah, if you want an archive you should start accumulating. we can get a TDS on it as soon as that's stable.
