Has anyone done an installation of AWIPS II with GEMPAK in a configuration where you're downloading data from the Internet instead of LDM? Curious if/how AWIPS II can be configured to point to the same data as GEMPAK...
 
I've been running AWIPS II for several weeks now, and it's actually surprisingly functional. Lots to go, but better than I expected. As far as data, I discovered by accident that if you configure and install the EDEX server, it will actually pull in some GRIB data over either FTP or HTTP. I had previously not installed the EDEX server portion, but played around with it. I left it running, and the next day, I had filled my entire disk (~2TB) because EDEX was ingesting GRIB and not cleaning out the old data. You might be able to play around with some things and maybe run a stripped down EDEX to pull in data? Just a though.

Personally, I've been using the edex-azure unidata server, but it is limited to .edu domains.

EDIT:

I should also note that this is on a rather beefy linux desktop I use for work, so results may not be the same for VM or smaller machines.
