Hi Don, re: > There's a ticket from Walt McCall about some missing AK CMAN buoys.

I think adding this first on yakov for testing would be a good idea. I will make the change and restart the data monitor immediately after finishing this reply. re: > We could just use SX, but there are a whole lot of other things (e.g. > SXXX) which are not ship/buoy reports.

No worries. re: > Hope you are enjoying Spain. I head to Spain at 13:30 today. Before that, I have a couple of short meetings at EUMETSAT, and then Volker and I will take a taxi to the Frankfurt airport to catch our plane. By the way, the visit to EUMETSAT has gone _very_ well so far. I gave a talk on Monday afternoon to a full house (no seats were free). Several folks remarked that this is the first time they had seen the conference room we were in filled to capacity! The best part of the talk (from my perspective) was the live demonstration of IDV+RAMADDA. The audience was wowed by the possibilities. Please tell Jeff that RAMADDA was/is a BIG hit here. Peter MIU has already taken a look and installed it on an internal machine that is already running THREDDS for testing. Also, after the talk, I had several people come up and ask for meetings regarding Unidata and our offerings. I helped 4 people install the IDV on their laptops, and I installed the LDM on a machine for them to play with (its working is waiting on their opening port 388 on their firewall, and this may take quite some time). EUMETSAT is very encouraging of a potential partnership between Unidata and a company in Spain called GBH (can't remember what this stands for right now). The reason is that a tender for bid is going out for a visualization package _soon_, and they would love for the IDV to be part of the winning bid. The tender is only open to European companies, so that is why/how GBH comes into the picture. They are also ready to commit to adoption of netCDF as the format for the next generation Meteosat's data, but they said that they need assurannces of support. I pointed out that the decision has been made to store GOES-R data in netCDF, and that efforts are needed to define how a CF standard for the data storage. I believe that at least one EUMETSAT person will be contacting the CF group to find out how they can participate. At least, that is what I was recommending as the first step. More on this when I return in the beginning of April. Marianne, Volker, HP and Peter send along their best wishes to you, Jeff and the rest of Unidata staff. Volker has been the one spearheading efforts to get people in EUMETSAT to kick the tires on things that we offer. Time to head back to EUMETSAT...
