Greetings,

Is there any way to find out when a run is complete/available in the
Catalog, or alternatively, what do others use as a safe/reliable time to
trigger a bundle to catch the latest run for the NCEP Global 0p5?

Background: I have some scheduled scripts to load bundles and make images,
but figuring out when a new run is available is somewhat trial and error.
 I have been triggering about 5 hours after the run time, but lately the
00Z run seems to be a little slower to become available (eg today,
triggering at 5h15m past 00Z still loaded the old 18Z run, but 10min later
the 00Z was available). I'm wondering if there's an easy way to investigate
availability times so I can improve/tweak my scheduling.

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks and regards,
Chris.
