20040727: LDM Question

Robert,

The NWS collection of METAR data at:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/data/METAR/
shows the last METAR product from KMCB (in SAUS70 KWBC) to
coincide with the period you noticed its removal from noaaport as well.
The last product shown there is 20Z july 1. Som, the NWS isn't posting any
more data than you are seeing.

You may want to contact the data management support group at
NWS if you feel that these data should be in the broadcast.

>Hello All,

>I have some questions concerning the IDD product identifier changes that 
>took effect July 1. After the change as announced by the National 
>Weather Service took effect, on July 1, the IDD ceased to parse the WMO 
>product for identifier ICAO=KMCB ( IATA=MCB, Mccomb, Mississippi). Our 
>reliant lines of pqact.conf code to parse and decode the IDD stream follow:
>
>#### BEGIN SURFACE AIRWAYS AND SURFACE SYNOPTIC
>####
>#
># US, Canadian, Carribean, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, North Atlantic & Car
># sfc obs and specials in hourly files yymmddhh.sao
>DDS|IDS ^S[AP][ACGMNUX][AEKMNSTWX].. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
>         FILE    data/ddplus/surface/wmo/(\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2.sao
>#
># Non buoy surface synoptic reports
>DDS|PPS ^S[HM].* .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])

>1) I am searching for an online, current version of a ten year old hard 
>copy guide of the following:
>
>WMO Produce Guide
>Index to Products and Stations Available in The UNIDATA Feed
>Dated November, 1994.

>Is there a current and correct electric version of this manual exist on 
>the web? What is the new LDM Mccomb identifier. I am assuming this has 
>changed and this is the reason that Mccomb is now missing.
>
>Without a current product guide , I am unable to tell if this correct:
>^S[AP][ACGMNUX][AEKMNSTWX].. .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
>
>2) While I have found one example of a missing product, there may be 
>other products missing. Is there a simple way to find other missing 
>products that have a similar  problems within the LDM system. I am 
>attempting to avoid manually searching all the stations. The logs do not 
>suggest missing products.
