LRGS/OPENDCS integration.

[petersilva]

We have internal servers that Download GOES DCS data for Canadian AWS they pollpublic facing LRGS servers, using the OpenDCS toolkit, pull them down, then advertise local copies, 1 ob per file. for our consumers.

acronyms:

• GOES - Geostationary Orbiting Environment Satellite... American sattelites that hover over North America, and that Canada has some permissions to use for
• DCS- Data Communications Service

@kurt2x comments welcome here... I will add the example to sr3-examples.

in the current Sundew integration,

• using dcpGetMessages (OpenDCS Component.) you need to ask for each station you want an ob for.
• we query three remote LRGS servers.
• Each server is queried with half of all the stations of interest. (so we are asking two servers for every data point.)
• if one server fails, we should still get all data from the remaining two.

currently build with manual scripts that people have not run in 10 years, and likely don't remember/never knew about...

Building the sr3 stuff, builds the proper dispatch/distribution on each start up.
