Hey Tim, (and others), I wonder if you can provide some guidance on the Canadian Radar display issues.
I am having, ECCC Environment Canada has relocated all its radar file (GIF files) to;
https://dd.weather.gc.ca/radar/CAPPI/GIF/
(more info about ECCC’s datamart can be found here regarding the radar file structure;
https://eccc-msc.github.io/open-data/ms ... tamart_en/ ) ...its pretty straight forward
I have been trying to fix it, via the manual, all the many posts over the many years, etc, etc. with no luck, I have tried every combo imaginable , (@@@, ###, YDT, etc) and I think now I am too close to see the the tree from the forest.
I finally got to work to not give a bad error file and all the other, you screwed up again, here it is, my test sites King Radar and Franktown;
In the digatmos.rdy program file….
CDN ON:King City 1.00 256 239,239 0001,0001 0478,0478 04 43.86 -079.57 gif https://dd.weather.gc.ca/radar/CAPPI/GI ... N_A11Y.gif #####base=/data/radar/temp_image/
CDN ON:Franktown 1.00 256 239,239 0001,0001 0478,0478 04 45.04 -076.11 gif https://dd.weather.gc.ca/radar/CAPPI/GI ... N_A11Y.gif #####base=/data/radar/temp_image/
Does not hang, it completes its task, what I can see through the script but I keep getting this;
either two empty radar rings or "Invalid GIF Signature" - but it no longer gives 404 errors, and such errors
I have also modified the color table, from the original file that came with the program version: -v3.50a (2023.06.05) Professional to match the radar image, very close to the exact color scheme of that CAPPI_1.5_RAIN_A11Y.gif;
TABLE=04 // Canadian radars
LEVEL=07,153,255,255,10
LEVEL=23,51,255,51,10
LEVEL=33,0,102,0,10
LEVEL=40,0,102,0,10
LEVEL=50,153,51,204,10
LEVEL=55,102,0,153,10
LEVEL=60,51,102,255,10
Not asking for you to do the whole file, just have the radar display working to the best of your abilities, cause you know this program way better, and I will do the rest of the radar sites and send it back to you as a solid working .rdy file for Canadian radars,( new radars have come on line, locations have changed, etc.) and you can add it to the NextGen DA, and I will share with others. Thanks for your help, and DA is used a lot on my twitter- meso analysis during severe weather, etc. (I follow you there) and I keep sending weather weenies your way, cause they ask.
Thanks again,
Much appreciated
Ron
