I have a couple of questions:
o what version of the Learning Guide are you working through
o what data server are you pointing to for the BLIZZARD dataset
To list out the data server you are using for the BLIZZARD dataset, run:
DATALOC LIST
I just pointed at the server used by recent workshop participants
(adde.ucar.edu) and ran the command you list and got the expected
listing:
Pos Description Schema NRows NCols Date
------ -------------------------------- ------ ----- ----- -------
1 SURFACE HOURLY OBSERVATIONS ISFC 72 3500 93072
2 INTL. RADIOSONDE OBS (UPPER AIR IRAB 8 1500 93072
3 INTL. RADIOSONDE OBS--SIG LEVELS IRSG 16 8000 93072
4 SHIP/BUOY OBSERVATIONS ISHP 24 3000 93072
5 SURFACE SYNOPTICS SYN 8 6000 93072
PTLIST: Done

I am running version 7.6. The data server is adde.unidata.ucar.edu.
If it is any help, the problem was encountered at the following URL:

Thank you.
