If you are currently unable to use data from ucar.edu, the adde.ssec.wisc.edu server and its datasets will have to be added through the ADDE Data Manager (Tools > Manage ADDE Datasets) through the Main Display window. For more information on adding remote datasets, see: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/doc/mcv_guide/current/tools/RemoteDataManager.html. For the Gridded Data > Remote, simply paste the "operational" URL below in the Catalog field of the chooser and press Enter.
The following remote choosers in McIDAS-V are impacted by this outage. For each chooser, the server or catalog that currently is not operational is prefaced with “down” and the server or catalog that is currently operational is prefaced with “operational”. It is suggested to use the "operational" server and catalog:
- Satellite > Imagery
down - adde.ucar.edu/RTIMAGES
operational - adde.ssec.wisc.edu/RTIMAGES
… the same for the other Datasets like CIMSS and GLOBAL
Radar > Level III
down - adde.ucar.edu/RTNEXRAD
operational - adde.ssec.wisc.edu/RTNEXRAD
… the same for the NEXRALL Dataset
Point Observations > Plot/Contour and Point Observations > Soundings > Remote
down - adde.ucar.edu/RTPTSRC
operational - adde.ssec.wisc.edu/RTPTSRC
Gridded Data > Remote
down - http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/georesources/threddsRtModels.xml
operational - http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/v/threddsRTModels.xml
Front Positions
down - adde.ucar.edu/RTWXTEXT
operational - adde.ssec.wisc.edu/RTWXTEXT
If you have any questions, please let us know.
