Hi Folks, We've had another very interesting week of using LEAD for supporting folks in the WxChallenge. I'd like to start by thanking you all very much for your continued beta use of LEAD and for all your excellent feedback. Please keep it up! We hope that you join us in seeing the tremendous promise of LEAD despite the difficulties you may have had along the way. Here is some information for you as you prepare for the WxChallenge tournament stage during which we hope you continue to use LEAD to augment your WxChallenge prediction work. There are a number of issues so I provide a contents and section approach to this e-mail. WRF numerical instabilities Workflow generated soundings bug fixed Delivery of files to MyWorkspace Download of large files using Internet Explorer Maintenance on various machines is complete ************* WRF numerical instabilities ************* We continue to be somewhat vexed by these, particularly in the ADAS initialization cases. Terrain seems to be a key factor in the problems and so we're hopeful that you will be able to use both the ADAS and the NAM initialized forecast workflows during the tournament phase as the area around Topeka is less variable than that around Rapid City. Please feel free to use both workflow types and provide us feedback on your experiences through the support system (either contact us from the portal or e-mail directly to support-lead@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). ************* Workflow generated soundings bug fixed ************** WxChallenge statistics page: The implementation of the WxChallenge statistics page: http://chinkapin.cs.indiana.edu/wxchallenge/ allowed LEAD developers to identify a bug in the service that provides the soundings generated over the locations of interest. (I.e. the WRF-ASCII-Soundings:Extract service). This bug has been corrected and so your soundings files (i.e. in MyWorkspace with .sfc extension) should now have correct and complete information, as should the web page. ************* Delivery of files to MyWorkspace ************ The issue with delivery of files generated to by the workflow to users' MyWorkspace is now better understood, though is not yet completely resolved. If you are finding that your files are not showing up in your workspace, please notify us via the Contact Us link or via the support-lead@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx e-mail address and let us know. We now have a workaround to quickly get those files registered in the case where the automated registration is not working. ************* Download of large files using Internet Explorer ************ Users who use Internet Explorer as their browser of choice are unable to download files of a size greater than 2 Gigabytes. This is a limitation with Internet Explorer, so the only workaround is to use a different browser such as Firefox. ************* Maintenance on various machines is complete *********** Maintenance work on machines at OU and IU caused some capabilities to be unavailable for short periods this week. All the maintenance should now be complete. Again thanks for being a beta user of LEAD! We're most grateful to you for your service to the project.
