Hi Brendon, re: does the current set of NDFD test products contains the fields that you were interested > The big answer is yes. Excellent. re: > I am also interested in POP, so determining > whether YDUZ98 is indeed POP (and resolving the units issue) would be > useful. OK, I am working on determining this. re: > I am also concerned about the frequency of products. Why are many > products issued hourly, when they are offered less frequently through > other sources? Are these hourly products "first guess" fields? I am > only interested in the final products for each parameter. FYI: the process for getting the data to the toplevel IDD machines for CONDUIT is a bit obscure, and there are people involved in the process whom I have not had contact with yet. They are the ones that should be able to answer detailed questions on product frequency, whether the hourly products are "first guess", etc. Also, we are now experimenting with making the products available via TREDDS. In order to do this, I had to implement the 'gribinsert' processing of the fields being sent from the WOC in test mode. Depending on what your ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf REQUEST line looks like, you may nave already noticed more products flowing in the EXP datastream from daffy. The additional products are the individual GRIB2 messages that have been extracted from the original products, and their IDD Product IDs are also very close if not identical to what they will be when they flow in CONDUIT. The 'gribinsert' process will run on a machine at the WOC that is upstream from the CONDUIT toplevel machines. This process will turn EXP products into CONDUIT ones AND eliminate any/all of the ones that users have determined to no be useful. Thanks for the input!
