Great tip! Bought the MacWx software, installed it, got the account registered and set up. The software is working perfect selcting the area on the map and requesting GRIB files from OCENS. I received e-mails from OCENS with the Wx files attached. The files are named ".._wxrequest.out.txt.bz2" and the file size is 79byte. So far so good, but there it stops.
The MacWx helpfunction tell me to drag the file to my desktop and doubleclick it, which in turn expands it in a folder named "..1" containing a file named ".._wxrequest.out.txt" and the file size is 4kb. Trying to open the file gives me the following message "ERROR: Invalid Login: Invalid user"
Trying to open the file in GPSNavX gives me the message "File did not contain any GRIB wind speed or wind direction data"
The file I ordered was from the GRIB Interactive/GRIB GFS Available Globally for User-Specified location/Wind folder in MacWx. The files in this folder are depicted in MacWx to be delivered by NOAA
Anybody else have this problem out there? How is it solved?
