Have you tried Matts command on this data?

Do we have some of Matts files? Russ On Jan 28, 2021, at 1:36 PM, McIDAS Help Desk <mug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:mug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: Hi Russ- I've attached Doug's trce file. I don't know if he's tried SSEC servers, I'll ask as I think they do use our data at times. He has gotten these commands to work when he changes the INC= from INC=300 300 to INC=60 60 and does each hour individually. So, that seems to disprove the idea that there is a corrupt file or reading. I was wondering if the server is timing out or maybe it's something particular in his files. When he gets the error, it plots some data before failing. But I'm at a loss as to why I can't recreate the error with his files.

I would need a trce file generated from the GLMN server running on Matt’s server to diagnose the problem past this point. Has Matt tried to use our (SSEC) server to try the same command? This —> "Our files look similar, but Doug's are all 15000 bytes larger.” is suspicious. Has Matt used GLMDISP to plot other data from these NOAA S3 datasets?

He got them from a NOAA S3 archive, I got mine from /arcdata. There are subtle differences in the header when checking with ncdump -h, but they didn't seem relevant. What does the "Unable to read data record from server" error mean? And do you have any other thoughts for Doug?

I think I'm working with the same dataset as you in the same directory structure now. I obtained my files from SDS and have 180 files in each directory named /home/jayh/mcidas/data/glm/2019/066/16/*, ../2019/066/17/*, through ../2019/066/21/*. So, it's searching through 1080 files, which doesn't seem like too many. Do you have the same file count? Can you add DEV=CCC and ECHO=YES to your last glmdisp.k over the WORL map and send me the output? My command is receiving and plotting 4168274 records with no errors. I'm using a DIRFILE= with /home/jayh/mcidas/data/glm/2019/066/*/*.nc Also, did you get your files from CLASS, SDS or another source? Thanks, Jay On 1/22/21 8:01 PM, Spangenberg, Douglas A.

For the 1st command, I downloaded the 2019066 GOES 16 GLM files and put them in a local directory to do some testing.\A0 I wasn't able to recreate the error.\A0 My GLMDISP completed with no errors and showed some lightning data over Colorado and Utah.\A0 So, I have a few questions: 1. I noted the error you are getting is the same when there is a period "." somewhere in the DIRFILE= (inq. 17059<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmcidas.ssec.wisc.edu%2Finquiry-x%2Findex.php%3Finquiry%3D17059&data=04%7C01%7Cdouglas.a.spangenberg%40nasa.gov%7Cba0080e19c07490fcdde08d8c23188a2%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C637472865286472700%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=A6SRxoyMcRjvahIT8oI7muPFSsE7bIRNvvJrHOE5feg%3D&reserved=0> -\A0 which hasn't been released yet).\A0 I was curious to see what the DSSERVE command was for the G16/GLM-GROUP dataset (and whether it's local or remote)?\A0 However, I would expect your other GLMDISP command to fail the same way, so I'm not confident this is the answer. 2. If #1 didn't solve the problem, what version of -X are you using, what operating system? 3. What is the IMGDISP command you are using as navigation, and what size frame are you using?
