Hi Mike, re: > Thanks a bunch Tom! I'll give it a shot and see what I can do with it. No worries. I guess one of my questions is what is your objective as far as the McIDAS installation goes. If you are looking to have a "typical" McIDAS setup, I could run through the setup to generate entries needed for the 'ldm' account (e.g., ldmd.conf entries; pattern-action files; crontab files). Right now, I see that you are ingesting CONDUIT, IDS|DDPLUS, UNIWISC, and NEXRAD3 on uila (note that I reorganized this a bit in an effort to tidy things up). The question is if you are also interested in: HRS - lower resolution model output from NOAAPort NGRID - higher resolution model output from NOAAPort NIMAGE - GOES-East/West image products from NOAAPort NLDN - NLDN Lightning data (point-to-point from Suny Albany) USPLN - USPLN Lightning data (point-to-point from WSI) If you/UH are interested in the different lightning streams (you may not be because their coverage does not yet extend to cover Hawaii), you will need to contact the folks in control of the distribution of those data: NLDN Dr. David Knight Department of Atmospheric Science Suny Albany address@hidden USPLN/NAPLN Kim Rauenzahn Lightning Product Manager address@hidden 978-983-6648 www.uspln.com Given Steven Businger's work with long range lightning detection, you may be interested in getting the USPLN data as WSI has plans of providing a feed of global coverages at some point in the future (it is in testing now). If you decide you want the USPLN data, you must make sure to request access to both the USPLN, USPLN1EX, NAPLN, and NAPLN1EX sets. You can see more about what these different feeds mean in terms of coverage at: Unidata HomePage http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Data http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data Lightning http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/lightning_data_2.html Lightning Data Available via the Unidata LDM/IDD http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/lightning.html#nldn So, when you have decided on all of the data feeds you want to ingest on uila, I am willing to setup the McIDAS processing of them. Please let me know. > As for next, seems like I might as well put GEMPAK on here. :-) Have you already setup a GEMPAK account? If yes, and given permission, I could download the latest GEMPAK source release and give building it a try. I feel certain, however, that there will be some packages that need to be installed by 'root' before the build can be successful (e.g., OpenMotif). We have moved towards source code only releases since we have found that a LARGE fraction of the support questions we received regarding GEMPAK were directly related to quirks in running a binary release that was not built specifically for each user's platform. It sure would be nice if I could do a site visit to help get things setup ;-) In lieu of that, helping out on your machine is the next best thing to being nearer a beach :-) Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
