The Unidata Local Data Manager (LDM) is a collection of cooperating programs
that select, capture, manage, and distribute meteorological data
products. The system is designed for event-driven data distribution, and is
currently used in the Unidata Internet Data
Distribution (IDD) project.
The LDM system includes network client and server programs and their shared
protocols. An important characteristic of the LDM is its support for
flexible and site-specific configuration.
LDM ingester clients handle data from several sources, including the
National Weather Service ``NOAAport channel 3'' and McIDAS data from
the Unidata/Wisconsin feed.
The Unidata LDM software is now used by more than 150 universities/cooperating
agencies. The LDM5 software is currently freely available via anonymous FTP in source form or as binaries for several
supported platforms from the Unidata Program Center.
