Run-time error 5

Been getting a run-time error 5 every day now for the past 3-5 days now when running in auto mode. Haven’t been able to pick any new RAOB data I think might be the problem:

http://www.eoas.fsu.edu/rawdata/radiosonde/20180314/2018031412.rdisnd

WXSIMATE shows a (-1) when it tries to download for the above line. Anyone else getting this? Tried it manually with a browser and the following page shows:

https://www.eoas.fsu.edu/about-us/internal-resources/weatherdata/

Any suggestions?

Hello Michael

In WXSIMATE, change the RAOB link from the fsu.edu site to the ucar.edu site. The fsu.edu sites for SYNOP and RAOB are not working.

Will give that a try for the next automated run.

On another note I tried just ‘http://www.eoas.fsu.edu/’ by itself and it changes to ‘https://www.eoas.fsu.edu/’.
Maybe this .edu site has changed everything to a ‘https:’ secure connection recently throwing the automated downloads off now.

Nope, still errors out.
Will check the WD logs this weekend, might be a possible double entry or something bugging it out.

Hello Michael

As you said, your error may be due to something else. Check file, raob.lst, for actual data. With the fsu.edu link I get html data in the file not RAOB data, but do not get error 5.

You may be right about a new authentication requirement. I had e-mailed Tom a few days ago to let him know about the issue.

Thanks
James

Was using the mouse scroll and the ucar site didn’t show up in WXSIMATE.
Using the up/down scroll arrows on that field shows the ucar is now showing #-o , manual download shows data vice the html code I had before.
Next auto run in and hour or so, fingers crossed.

Recent Auto run completed without any error for a change this time… :smiley: Thanks

Hi All.

FSU have added security and now require registration .
from an email from them,

" For access to the weather data we now require a registration form


EOAS_registration.docx (114 KB)

That is going to be difficult for a lot of people :frowning:

Ooh, didn’t know this. I think we still have other sources for everything. I’ll check on this.

Yep, FSU’s data now has this registration requirement. I think the data usage here is legit and they’d probably grant it (that’s really just a guess), but I haven’t tried contacting them yet. I’ll try to learn more.

Meanwhile, other sources still work, and there’s still at least one option for everything. I’m posting a screen shot of some settings that I can confirm work. NOTE: most users, especially outside the U.S. do not need all these data types. I just filled it all out for purposes of checking availability.


Tom - I’ve changed the data sources in WXSIMATE (still on 6.3) to match your entries in your screenshot but with the exception of the Target URL. Do I need to copy that url but put in my own site coordinates - at the moment it has automatically put in what you see in my screenshot. I’m a bit confused! :scratch:

EDIT: Ah, it all sorted out when the forecast ran at 1800 and all is now okay!:D/


Hi all.

I had no issue in getting registration done.
Basically overnight.
I have the urls and file structure for you Tom.

Great! Do you know if they changed anything about the file structure? Anyway, please send me those new URL’s.

Thanks!

Tom

Just a note on http://weather.cod.edu/digatmos/syn/

When this ls selected, an error is forced.

“error: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish
secure channel for ssl/tls. In addition to various communication or
site availability issues, one possible caus of this error is the ‘Computer on Daylight Savings Time’ check box is not accurate.”

We don’t do daylight savings, and if a browser is used to go to http://weather.cod.edu/digatmos/syn/
it gets directed to https://weather.cod.edu/digatmos/syn/

Data is available when the full url at 13:31 local (gmt+10)

https://weather.cod.edu/digatmos/syn/18092900.syn

works fine,

Exactly as Dr Rob says in his post of September 29, 2018, 03:32:26 AM
… it does not work with the http://weather.cod.edu/digiatmos/syn/

only with the https://…

Since I cannot get a static IP-address, I cannot use the eoas.fsu… I will probably never have a static IP-address…

I have tried to find out where I can change the SYNOP option to https://…? I do not want to hack anything - even if I know I can… And it’s not in in lst files…What to do?
