I have been using the motherlode server (

this data isn't flowing anymore. Is there a new place to access RAP data
for the IDV? Particularly the 20km and/or 13km grids? Thanks!
I believe the 20km grids that are listed as RUC are really now the RAP
grids. NCEP was going to keep the same headers and model numbers so the
transition would be seemless. I had a discussion with Unidata recently
about this and they said they were just going to file the RAP grids as
RUC for now. The 80km grids are not being sent anymore. You can access
the other RAP products on motherlode from the IDV catalog:
Community Data Servers
> Unidata Program Center Servers
>Unidata THREDDS IDD Server (motherlode)
> NCEP Model Data
> Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) Model
under there, you can use the:

> File Access
catalog to get at the latest and specific times.
It would be good to have Unidata update the idv/models.xml to remove the
80km and include the 13km for RAP. I'll send in a support request for this.
