Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
The "normal" site for current prepbufr obs
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/data/gdas/201011/
hasn't posted anything for two days. I wonder if you are aware of alternate
sites, and additionally, aware of any listservs or web pages that might
report on expected or unexpected downtimes concerning these datasets.
Thanks,
Don

Don,
Here's the only alternative site that I'm aware of:
http://dss.ucar.edu/datasets/ds337.0
Click on the "data access" tab. You'll need to fill out the free
registration. When I click on the "Internet Download" option and
navigate to the 2010 data, I see that the most recent data file is
for 20101110. So that's at least one day more recent than the other
source. It looks like there's about a 2 day latency in posting these
observations - e.g. they posted the data for 20101110 on
20101112.
Here's the direct link to that most recent prepbufr file:
http://dss.ucar.edu/dsszone/ds337.0/tarfiles/prepbufr.20101110.nr.tar.gz
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a list serve or web page that lists
the status of the NOMADS datasets. I'd suggest writing them to let
them know about the data issue you're finding:
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/nomads.php?name=contacts
Thanks,
John

John, that response from NOMADS was real helpful. The NCEP data seems
to be
consistently available by about 6.5 hours after analysis time. The
stuff on
NCDC was really hard to time and, as you saw, it's not always there,
and
there should be no expectation that it will be there when you want it!

Don,
Yes, thanks for including me on that. I'll add additional links to
the web user's website to point to that data source.
Thanks,
John

Don,
FYI, I've updated the MET website to point to the updated list of
PREPBUFR point observation sources:
http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/downloads/observation_data.php
Please let me know if you find any inaccuracies or find additional
sources of data we should post.
I'll go ahead and resolve this ticket.
Thanks,
John
