Hi Robert,
NOGAPS/FNMOC is a point to point feed only. You'll need to contact Dave
Dimitriou at FNMOC if you're interested in getting it. You'll find his
address on our contact page:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/idd/sitelist.html.
Regarding volume, here are some stats from last October for a "typical"
day, approximately 24 hours:
number NOGAPS products = 7607
total NOGAPS bytes = 683 Mb
avg NOGAPS product size = 89809 bytes
min NOGAPS bytes/hour = 3 Mb
max NOGAPS bytes/hour = 237 Mb
The data comes out in spurts, hence the difference in min and max hourly
volumes. Note the both COAMPS and NOGAPS are under the NOGAPS/FNMOC
feed. For more info see our web page:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/feedtypes/fnmoc.html.
Btw, I don't what that response was that you got to this posting. Maybe
someone gave a list server as an address in signing up for ldm-users.
We'll look into that.
Anne
