    • RE: #Eyepilot is a Live Webcam On Private Order

      People around the world, when cannot travel, should rather watch National Geographic channel to "see" the world, instead watching boring webcams (showing stupid cars running on insipid roads); or well meet neighbours instead watching distant people on cold screens :o)

      Users, We believe that NOMADS is now optimal, it is passing all our health checks and the systems are stable. If you are still experiencing significant issues please reach out to the SDM, who is CC'ed here (sdm@noaa.gov). Please include the following information if you can: your system IP, the service you are trying to use, the URL or command that is causing your issues and the error that you receive. Thank you for your help and understanding, Anne

      Hello users, We had teams working through the night and they have been unable to overcome all of the remaining issues within the data center. At this time NOMADS is up and serving data, but users will experience frequent errors. A retry should result in a successful download. We continue to work to restore the site and will notify when all is clear.

      NOMADS users, We have restored enough of the data center to bring the NOMADS website back up. We are now populating data in real time. However, all of the features of NOMADS are not fully healthy yet. We are still actively restoring the site to full and will send an all clear once that is complete. Due to the extensive outage we will be unable to backfill any of the data gaps. Thank you for your patience. Carissa Klemmer NCEP Central Operations IDSB Branch Chief 301-683-3835

      Users, We continue to work to resolve these issues as quickly as we can. We will stop sending updates until we have a better estimate for restoration. Please remember that we offer all our nomads data through our FTPPRD web site as well. Thanks for your patience. Anne Myckow

      Users, Work continues at the Boulder data center as we recover from yesterday's outage. Restoring NOMADS is the top priority and we hope to bring it back online within the next few hours. Thank you for your patience,

We will work to have it up and running again once the maintenance is completed. We are expecting ~22/07Z but will notify if the outage window is extended.

    • RE: Planisferio-planisphere

      This is debatable... there are many pros (mainly about administrative areas) and cons (mainly for distances accuracy) about this map projection.

      Anyway, plotting worldwide maps and data in "the best" map projection is a never-ending story; this is the reason Google created his own projection EPSG:900913 (900913 is the digit form of google string), which become standard for web mapping.

      For worldwide maps, the best compromise would be to draw everything on a 3D sphere (which requires much more computing effort and resources); this is the reason Google finally ended by implementing it after many complaints from users. Afaik. Windy also plans to implement maps on 3D sphere (which was already available a couple of years ago), see this post.

    • RE: Map Scale

      See also this related post.

      Afaik. Windy uses Google projection, aka. Web Mercator, Google Web Mercator, Spherical Mercator, EPSG:900913 or WGS84 Web Mercator. It is a variant of Mercator projection, used as standard in Web mapping. As one can see on screenshot below Google Maps itself provides well a map scale on UI, which could always help:

      titi.jpg

      Of course, displaying also on UI the current cursor position on map (lon/lat) would be a plus; Leaflet, as well as all other GIS frameworks provide UI controls for both map scale and cursor position.

    • RE: US - NAM data outage
      From: NCEP.list.NOMADS-ftpprd  on behalf of NOMADS-FTPPRD list  Sent: Monday, October 26, 2020 22:04 To: _NCEP.List.nomads-ftpprd  Subject: Re: [NCEP.list.NOMADS-ftpprd] Update on NOMADS Grib Filter and OpenDap Restoration
      Evening NOMADS Users, 
      
      At this time we have restored all services and all data sets to NOMADS. The GEFS and NAM data were turned back on at 2150 UTC, and the ensemble data is running for the 18Z cycle right now. We will be unable to backfill any missing data. If users experience any other issues please report them to us so we can investigate. We thank you for your patience during this very impactful outage.

    • RE: Displaying weather Fronts notations.

      ECMWF does it here: https://apps.ecmwf.int/r/cdb/ (see detailed description via control Help).

      But I think this should remain generated and provided by Met institutes.

    • RE: Forecast Timestamp

      It is Unix Timestamp, provided with 4 extra digits after the second unit digit (i.e. values are in hundreds of microseconds, instead seconds as expected).
      Try 1601629220 instead 16016292200000 in any timestamp to date converter (e.g. here): you should get "Friday 2 October 2020 09:00:20"
