Skyway Sensor
 
Anyword on what going on with this sensor reporting on IKite website? It appears to be working through other sites.

seems you gotta go straight to the source

that just makes ikantsurf.com even more irrelevant

I sent an email to Todd Ehret and Stephen Lyles of NOAA. We had this same problem before and these are the guys who got it working last time it went down several years ago.
Keep your fingers crossed.

Here is the recent service history , but I don't know if its up to date

http://ompl.marine.usf.edu/PORTS/m01...tr_m01010.html

The problem seems to be more with comm/ telemetry between ikantsurf and ports than with the telemetry/ comm between the sensor and ports

The system is managed, operated, and maintained by the Greater Tampa Bay Marine Advisory Council-PORTS under a cooperative agreement with NOS and the University of South Florida.

is this site pulling off same sensor?

BigR 01-05-2007 06:54 AM

yes, it would seem to be in text format instead of graphical

according to ikantsurf "Data from this station is courtesy of NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS)."

http://www.ikitesurf.com/windandwher...149&siteID=812


so they pull their data from co-ops not from ports. therein lies the problem

Here's the reply.....

The meteorological sensors at Sunshine Skyway Bridge are presently off line.
We are aware of the situation. There is no projected repair date available at this time.

Well then the comps data-feed is not making it to noaa

because both comps and ports data-feeds from the skyway sensor are working.

Yeah he said "The meteorological sensors at Sunshine Skyway Bridge are presently off line."
not that they aren't working, just that HIS line ain't working.

It just hit 20kts and I just got in to work:confused: :rolleyes:
