Hi Gilbert, re: > On both weather and weather2.admin.niu.edu, a script which makes a > watch/warning display and saves it to GIF: > > http://weather.admin.niu.edu/warn1.gif > http://weather2.admin.niu.edu/warn1.gif > > isn't working. Or there was no data to plot. > It's like there's no data. Is my XCD server up? It certainly is on weather. I am attaching a plot of a map of fronts and weather watches/warnings I just created from data served off of weather. A DATALOC listing shows that I am pointed at weather.admin.niu.edu for this data: DATALOC LIST RTWXTEXT Group Name Server IP Address -------------------- ---------------------------------------- RTWXTEXT WEATHER.ADMIN.NIU.EDU <LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory. DATALOC -- done There may not be much in the way of watches and warnings depicted in the plot, but there is some down in southeastern Texas. Also, the existence of frontal boundaries shows that the data for the RTWXTEXT dataset is being received and correctly processed on weather. I just pointed at weather2 and get the essentially the same plot (you can see the difference in the plots by looking closely at the time stamp in on the top of each image). Thirdly, I pointed at stratus.al.noaa.gov; DATALOC ADD RTWXTEXT stratus.al.noaa.gov Group Name Server IP Address -------------------- ---------------------------------------- RTWXTEXT STRATUS.AL.NOAA.GOV <LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory. DATALOC -- done and got the same plot as I got off of weather and weather2. > When I get in tomorrow and have time to look at stuff, I'll see if McIDAS > now works. Too late for me to check now, had to go home for the night. OK. I think things are working OK.
