[McIDAS #NZQ-510524]: RTNEXRAD Feed from adde.ucar.edu - no data

Hi Greg,

There were some issues on the machine that is currently adde.ucar.edu (and
thredds.ucar.edu) yesterday, so the problems serving the NEXRAD Level III
products may be related to that.  I'm taking a quick look now...

I just ran an IMGLIST to get the list of stations reporting DHR (Digital
Hybrid Reflectivity) products, and it looks OK.

What RTNEXRAD dataset were you trying to access (e.g., N0R, DHR, etc.)?

I want to make sure that I am testing the same thing that you were having
problems with.

Again, it would be helpful to know more information like which servers
and which datasets you tested.

re:

The problems on adde.ucar.edu yesterday appear to have been related to/caused
by the THREDDS server using a LOT of system resources starting sometime
yesterday morning.  This problem appears to have been fixed by the machine
being rebooted yesterday evening and then again this morning.  Please let
us now if you continue to have problems.

As far as setting up your own service to increase reliability, this is
never a bad idea...

Cheers,

Tom
