[IDD #MIY-175774]: "WARN" Log Message in Concatenate NEXRAD2 Script

Hi Ziv,

Bummer.  How do you login remotely?

re:

OK, good.  A 4 GB queue should test whether or not the queue size was
the limiting factor.

I will have to review the code to know...

They are the concatenation of the bzip2-compressed chunks received for
a particular station.  If you need an uncompressed version of the
volume scans, the chunks will need to be uncompressed (unbzipped)
before the reassembly.

re:
> Are they in the FOP1 directory?

?? I am not sure what the FOP1 directory is.  If this is a reference
to something seen in the Perl script, then I will know better when I
review the code (I didn't write the code, so I am not intimately
familiar with what it does other than reassembling the chunks into
a full volume scan).

Question:

- what is it you need/want?

re:
> Sorry, I am a newbie when it comes to reading Perl scripts. Thank you for
> your help!

No worries.

By the way, we are moving all of the NEXRAD2 data up to an S3 bucket in
AWS.  The reassembly procedure there does unbzip each chunk and then
gzips the reassembled volume scan.

Musing:  perhaps your effort would be greatly simplified if you accessed
and used the files that are being reconstituted in AWS?

The answer to the musing would likely be no if one of your goals is to
create a local archive.

Cheers,

Tom
