(as reported on January 18th Conference Call)

Progress

Participants: Josh Kohut, Hugh Roarty (Rutgers), Dave Ullman (URI) , Eoin Howlett (ASA), Dave Runnels (Stephens Institute), Todd Fake (UCONN)

  1. Rutgers FTP Site - ASCII file that is aggregated from a variety of Rutgers sites (subset of the what is on the Opendap server) is available hourly - 6km grid.
  2. John Wilkin has opendap server for long range Macoora wide (Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod) - 8km grid.
  3. Todd is storing all data in SQL database, ASCII files are also stored, BI Sound available in ASCII, not Western LI Sound.
  4. STPS goes into the SQL database (BI Sound, Western LI Sound, and NY Bight)
  5. Rutgers has a portal and node running (in parallel to Scripps) that is collecting all of the radials and also processing vectors.
  6. Al Cope and Lou Bowers set WRF model and successfully dispalyed output on AWIPS.
  7. Action Items
    • Josh will send email with FTP site of where ASCII Rutgers Codar data is available
    • General agreement that being able to access all Codar (and STPS) data via OPeNDAP is a good idea and will allow EDS and the modelers to easily access data. For the moment (ands maybe longer!), we will use the COOL site as a template on how to publish codar data via opendap. link to COOL site
    • Josh will check with John to see if Todd can get the processing tools that they use so UCONN can implement.
