Gilbert,
Your efforts cannot be thanked enough. You are a true example of what is
possible when the community is engaged. I thank you for allowing me to run
GEMPAK and answering shell questions many many years ago...in addition to
helping be jumpstart LDM on atlas. You are part of the reason I am now involved
with Unidata.
FYI LDMers, there is an alternate feed from NIU now that I am in the department
(atlas.niu.edu), and I’d be happy to add allows for anyone interested. No
NOAAport, but we are on a 10 GB/s connection. Woohoo!
Best,
