You probably want the 6 minute and hourly NetCDF profiler data that is available in the FSL2 feed. The dcncprof decoder is used for that data stream. All you need to do is add the FSL2 feed request to your upstream host- you do not need to contact FSL for this data. The ACARS data comes directly from FSL, so you would have to contact them for that data. If your upstream is not receiving the FSL2 feed, then we need to get them to request it. The dcncprof decoder doesn't get built by default since it requires the NetCDF library to be installed on your system. If you have that, then all you need to do is make sure the $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.common definitions for NETCDFINC and NETCDF point to the include directory and library file for NetCDF. Then build the decoder with: cd $NAWIPS/unidata/ldmbridge/dcncprof make clean make all make install make clean The pqact.conf patterns for dcncprof are at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/pqact/decoders.tbl Thanks, Steve Chiswell
