Hi Robb,

Thanks!! That led me to the answer and I think it also implies a possible
bug in the decoders.

The message I got when manually running the command was:
could not open
/usr/local/ldm/data/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface/metarLog.20337.log: No such
file or directory

The only thing that seemed to be missing was a surface directory so I
created one and voila, it worked fine and now we're getting tons of netcdf
metar data into the surface directory.

Playing a hunch on the ua2nc stuff I created an upperair directory as well
and voila, upper air data is being decoded into netCDF now as well.



Well I thought I'd mailed this to you already, but obviously not.  Sorry if
I caught you off guard this am in the THREDDS meeting.

Thanks again - still up for talking decoders this afternoon?

Tom.

Tom,

THis is either the ldm doesn't have write premission or the disk is full.
I would duplicate the pqact entry on the command line: ie.

~/decoders/metar2nc ~/etc/metar.cdl ~/data/pub/decoded/netcdf/surface 0403
< rawdatafile.wmo

The should show the errors on the screen.
