I know from reading up on CRAFT, that the potential for Internet2 is promising for high bandwidth needs. Anyone at the universities that have access to Internet2 have any comments? >> deletia >> > If anyone has questions about NOAAPORT systems, I'll be glad to answer > what I can. I, too, will be glad to answer any questions specific to a PDI (Planetary Data) system or NOAAPort in general. A good point to make, though, is that NOAAPort is very much a dynamic entity when it comes to a product catalog. As the NOAA tests bandwidth and AWIPS compatibility . . . data types come and go. Just a few weeks ago, we were blessed with a couple of NOGAPS grib messages - then they were gone. For three days, we got to play with additional NEXRAD data types - until an implementation caused the effort to stop. Personally, I look forward to the day of NEXRAD Level II delivery via a GOES platform - along with redundant NOAAPort birds. -- Stonie R.
