[IDV #WDJ-710360]: nexradcomp data from motherlode



Hi Bill,

Tom here...

I just wanted to jump in to let you know that there were problems
with the THREDDS server on motherlode.ucar.edu yesterday for a good
fraction of the morning (our time).  The problems you ran into
might have been a result of those THREDDS problems.

If this sort of thing happens in the future, please check data
access via an ADDE server on motherlode (the Imagery tab in the
IDV).  If that is working fine, then the problem could be something
happening with THREDDS; if it also does not work, the problem may
be something more general with motherlode, or with the network
connection between your machine and motherlode.

Cheers,

Tom
