Billie:

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  I was agreeing that we have some non-member, regular contributors who add value to the forum.  You were an excellent example.

Guess I owe you a beer :-)

I’ve wondered why we allow any non-members to post in the forums, other than the “Marketplace” and “Rides” areas?  This is a club forum, paid for by club member dues.  There is probably value to CSS members from external posts on gear and rides, but the other forum areas?  Why?

 

BTW, found the bug that was preventing display of Soundings in the RaspViewer from anything other than the current day.  It has been corrected and will start working as soon as my hosting service restarts the Apache web server.

Progress as a new power supply brought life back into the RASP machine.  Also getting disk errors so work continues…

PC used to process RASP and Windgrams died this morning with a dramatic fireworks popping noise.

Down for the foreseeable future…

SoaringPredictor charts are processed separately and will continue.

Saturday Update:

NOMADS users,

The data center network maintenance that took place on 10/22 has caused many unexpected issues. Beginning early today our system admins began to troubleshoot reports of both the Opendap and Grib Filter services being unresponsive. Unfortunately, with the complexity of the issues within the data center, the team was unable to restore the services. At this time, both OpenDap and Grib Filter services are down. We will continue to persevere through this incredibly impactful outage and work as quickly as we can to recover NOMADS.

As a mitigation to the broken services, users can still download full files over https. Or leverage the idx files with the fast downloading method, explained here:

We appreciate the impact this outage is having on our users, and apologize for the disruption.

The team has been working all day but were unable to find the root cause of the GEFS and NAM problems that are preventing them from being on NOMADS. This data will be out over the weekend, with restoration planned for Monday.

They are still available via HTTPS and FTP on FTPPRD here:
GEFS
https://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/gens/
ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gens/

NAM
https://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/nam/
ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/nam/

We will be standing down for now and resuming at 12UTC Monday. We apologize for the impact this is having to your scientific endeavors, and look forward to getting this fixed.

Thank you.

Evening,

Our engineers continue to work to restore NOMADS to full operational capability. At this time the NAM and GEFS remain unavailable. We will notify users when all issues are resolved.

– RASP/Windgrams use NAM.

Ok.  it will now keep the zoom and not re-center when going between days of the same model.
