Hi John,
re: setting up NEXRAD Level II IDD feed
> What do we need to do to get our feed started?
This should be very easy:
- verify that there is both forward and reverse DNS for the machine on which
you will
run your lDM. You may need to talk to your IT people about this.
- install a current version of the LDM on your Unix/Linux
machine:
<as user 'ldm' on your machine>
cd ~ldm
ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
<user> anonymous
<pass> address@hidden
cd pub/ldm/beta
binary
get ldm-6.4.6.4.tar.Z
quit
(we are suggesting using the 6.4.6.4 beta instead of the released
6.4.5 distribution)
zcat ldm-6.4.6.4.tar.Z | tar xvf -
cd ldm-6.4.6.4/src
./configure
make
make install
sudo make install_setuids
cd ~ldm
ln -s ldm-6.4.6.4 runtime
ln -s runtime/* .
mkdir util decoders
-- edit your shell definition file (e.g., .cshrc for Cshell; .bash_profile
for BASH, etc.)
and set your PATH to include the ~ldm/bin, ~ldm/util, and ~ldm/decoders
directories
- contact your upstream site(s) to ask for feed permissions:
Gerry Creager <address@hidden>
You will need to provide Gerry the fully qualified name and IP address of your
LDM host.
- configure your LDM to request data from Texas A&M. You will, of course, first
need to decide how much of the NEXRAD2 feed that you want to get.
- configure your LDM pattern-action file(s) to do something with the NEXRAD
Level
II data. The possibilities for processing are limitless. What you do will
depend on your ultimate objective.
> Thanks...
No worries.
Please don't hesitate to send questions/comments to address@hidden.
