To reiterate here is what we are doing and the question is once we have
pulled an ABI .nc file how do we get them renderable by NAWIPS sans
LDM…
AWIPS System: ABI .nc file from AWS server à pulled by scripts to the
local server à submitted to AWIPS2 EDEX LDM à rendered in CAVE
NAWIPS System: ABI.nc file from AWS Server à pulled by scripts to the
local server à ??? what steps do we take to have this processed so the
file can be rendered in NAWIPS ???
The purpose of the LDM is to process incoming data streams, and place
the data where it belongs, while triggering appropriate actions where
necessary while being processed.
Therefore, if you wish to use data normally obtained via LDM without the
LDM with GEMPAK, simply place the data where it belongs 🙂
To determine where that might be, examine the pqact statement shown from
your link, here is a screencap
Your data will go under the ~data/gempak/images/sat/{-regex-} directory
... adapted to your local configuration.
if you do not understand regex and have an ldm handy 'notifyme' is
helpful in understanding regular expressions to decode the above... such
as:
notifyme -v1- -d EXP -o 3600
if you do not have and ldm handy, an introduction to ldm regex is
available in the documentation:
