[IDV #WHM-665465]: Can not select some DFFD datasets
- Subject: [IDV #WHM-665465]: Can not select some DFFD datasets
- Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2012 18:21:35 -0600
Greetings Albert,
Yes, I looked into this a bit more and found that the problem happens
pretty often. I don't seem to have any issues with the non-conduit NDFD grids:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog/fmrc/NCEP/NDFD/CONUS_5km/files/catalog.xml
However, they are only available for 12Z and 18Z.
One way around this is to download the conduit-feed grib2 file to your
disk and load it directly into the IDV, using the following steps:
1) Go to
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog/NCEP/NDFD/conduit/CONUS_5km/catalog.html
find the output you wish to use, and follow that link.
2) On the page that the link takes you to, look for the 'Access' section and
click on the link after "HTTPServer" - this will download the grib2 file.
3) In the IDV, go to the Dashboard and click on the "Data Choosers" tab.
Make sure to select "General -> Files" on the left side of the dashboard,
then use the file system explorer in the shown in the "Data Choosers" tab
to navigate to the file you just downloaded, and click "Add Source."
Given that this works, it seems like there may be a bug in THREDDS, so
I've submitted a bug that you can follow along with, if you wish:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/jira/browse/TDS-305
I'm not aware of any other sources for NDFD as we distribute it (it looks
like NOMADS may break up the file into several regions for serving
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/thredds/catalog.html).
Cheers,
Sean
