somebody just asked where the files are when they looked in this
directory
http://modelweather.com/noaaport/dish/ncep/model/gfs/
my fault.. I didn't explain very well.. sorry!
since GEMPAK is being phased out, I am writing a custom ingest package
for our internal uses, and filing the products as each source sends them
over NOAAPort
for example, GFS which was brought up today comes over the dish as:
71550 20180220035934.747355 NGRID 19629065 YRPK40 KWBC 200000
!grib2/ncep/GFS/#003/201802200000F072/RELH/400 hPa PRES
where:
'ncep' is the source
'GFS' is the model
'#003' is the grid
so I chose to file things as
../root/www/dir/noaaport/dish/'source'/'model'/'grid'/
and then instead of a crazy filename.. simply pipe everything into
YYYYMMDD.HHHH.{F}HHH.grib
so all variables for each product are filed into the corresponding date,
hour, and forecast hour by model type.
then with NIDS data for example, I file all products by:
../root/www/dir/noaaport/dish/nids/'source'/'radome'/'prod'/
YYYYMMDD.HHMM.nid
so to answer the unspoken person's question, while this is a work in
progress for me internally, of course I don't mind sharing with the
unidata community if you should need to grab something... unidata is
good people Eventually I hope to file every single product that comes
over noaaport, because what I'm doing is instead of copying from
pqact.gempak, writing everything manually by parsing the notifyme output
of every feed.. it just takes awhile.. but this way, products will be
able to be used natively with MetPy and other new apps being developed
cheers,
