Hi there,
I am trying to get synoptic data using the IDV Data Chooser tab. I chose
Observations --> Point on the left hand side, select Synoptic Data as
Data Type at the top and connect to adde.ucar.edu. In the Relative Times
tab, I get a choice from Most Recent to 50 Most Recent. However, the
time period I am interested in is about 3 month ago and is not covered
by the 50 Most Recent.
I therefore tried to use the Absolute Times tab but it seems to give me
only the most 5 recent sondes. After setting the absolute time (e.g.
1-30 May) in the Properties window a black box is drawn in the time
window but no available sonde data are displayed which I would be able
to select.
I am not sure whether I am missing something here, but I tried for ages
and did not manage to get any data older than the '50 most recent'. I
hope I am making my problem clear enough. If not, let me know. Any help
is much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Sebastian
