[LDM #UFY-198367]: Limited processing and decoding of NAM data

Hi Dan,

I saw that you had called yesterday when I was not in the office.  Sorry I 
missed
your call (but email is better for most support interactions)...

View how?  Is your comment made on access in GEMPAK, or are you looking at 
directory
listings on your disk?

I am a novice when it comes to GEMPAK support, so please bear with me...

I just checked the GEMPAK 5.11.1 installation we have here at the UPC, and it 
seems
to be decoding all of the NAM212 data.  However, our machine is ingesting the 
HRS
datastream in addition to CONDUIT, so that may be the difference in our holdings
and yours.

Comment:

- our data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_NAM212.log log file does not indicate which 
forecast
  hours are being decoded.  Here is the current content of our 
  ~ldm/data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_NAM212.log log file:

[25113] 080502/1943[DC 3]  Starting up. Version 5.11.1
[25113] 080502/1943[DC -11]  No command line arguments found.
[25113] 080502/2039[DC 5]  Normal termination.

[25113] 080502/2039[DC 6]  Shutting down.
[9107] 080503/0744[DC 3]  Starting up. Version 5.11.1
[9107] 080503/0744[DC -11]  No command line arguments found.
[9107] 080503/0843[DC 5]  Normal termination.

[9107] 080503/0843[DC 6]  Shutting down.

Notice that the log output does not contain any reference to the forecast
hours being processed.

Can you send us your data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_NAM212.log file?

> What am I missing?

Good question.  I don't know yet.

> Where is the decoded data going

Another good question.  I should be able to help more when I see
the contents of your dcgrib2 nam212 log file.

By the way, the contents of the directory where I expected to find
the NAM 212 decoded files on our machine does not contain the
earlier forecasts:

Seeing your list of the same output directory, ~ldm/data/gempak/model/nam,
should help me figure out what is going on.

> Configuration Info.....
> Queue size 2G

This is all good.  I wish we could receive your real time statistics as this
would allow me to determine if you are, in fact, getting all of the CONDUIT
data that you are requesting.

> Current pqact configuration (pqact.gempak_decoders)
> HDS | CONDUIT                ((/mNAM | /mNMM).*#212 | prod/nam.*awip3d)
>      PIPE                       decoders | dcgrib2 -d 
> data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_NAM212.log
>     -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.11.1/gempak/tables
>     Data/gempak/model/nam/YYYYMMDDHH_nam212.gem
> (I've tested the expression above in "notifyme" and it appears to be working 
> fine)

Again, please send:

- the dcgrib2_NAM212.log file

- a listing of ~ldm/Data/gempak/model/nam/*.gem

Cheers,

Tom
