I keep hearing a lot about Hive and Cirrus but outside of a powerpoint
presentation, I know little else. As my contractor situation at AWC has
dwindled to a need to know basis, I'm not sure I'm going to get much more
information on that technology. It sounds interesting but will it be
available to non-government entities? I don't know.
I've been looking at doing more scripting to harvest data off TGFTP, NOMADS
and other sites. It's not optimal and rather incomplete. Timeliness is
another issue.
