Hi Kevin - I actually asked this last week at the workshop at Greentec and based upon the answers I received, I think I am actually doing this in a legitimate way.... It seems that MSD ingest only (?) accepts HDF5 wrapped internal files, UW only serves .grib2 files, and Paul Meade's perl scripts are...

Hi Kevin My intuition is that the exact NCEP interpolation interval should have a minor effect on the retrieval -- but you are right that I am ultimately interested in matching the operational code as closely as possible (especially given so much time invested). I am going to work next on using ADL ...

OK, thanks for the explanation of the Effectivity of the 3HR NCEP. The problem turned out to be that one of the NCEP files had N_Collection_Short_Name set to NCEP-03HR-Anc-Int and thus failed the test you pointed out. I fixed it (for now) by changing the files used for interpolation to avoid the 03H...

Hi Kevin The problematic granules are not exclusively in that excluded interval, however most of them are close enough (08:57 - 09:41, 11:28) that it made me wonder if there was a hidden time stamp that was inconsistent with the file name. Note these are not all the same day - they come from multipl...

Hi again - I thought I had completely solved this... I've got a script running now that processes nearly 350 different granules all the way through to CrIMSS EDR. They are all from Jan-Mar 2012 so no CrIS data is included, but I have also made CrIMSS with CrIS present as well, so I have some faith i...

OK... I'm in the process of answering my own question. I recalled I saw something called DynAncInterpolator.pl which seems like it should do the trick. It seems like it's missing something though that I need to install.... Stay tuned, please -- and thanks again for all the help.

Thanks Tim, The effectivity range is definitely my problem. I processed a granule within that interval and the EDR now runs to completion. However I'm confused now about a different point -- none of the NCEP forecasts in http://jpssdb.ssec.wisc.edu/ancillary/*/gfs*.grib2 have effectivity range great...

Hi Tim, Goeff Thanks for your responses. Geoff: I find I am now unable to replicate the NCEPtoBlob.py error, so while I appreciate the offer, I (un)fortunately need to withdraw the request. I'll get in touch if that particular problem resurfaces. Tim: I ran across the MSD instructions when you and K...

Hi there - I have run into difficulty ingesting NCEP data from grib2 files and I hope someone can help me. I already have this workign sort-of but am trying to make my pipeline more efficient. The process that works for me is to obtain h5 wrapped NCEP and use the perl script DynAncConverter.pl to co...

Thank you Tim and Kevin -

My CrIS SDR and also my CrIMSS EDR now run to completion! I appreciate all your help.
