Web Page

The UND Radar Web page is served from the Aerospace Atlantis Web server. The IRIS software on Radar2 creates gif images and places them into the appropriate directories within /usr/iris_data/.

On Atlantis, the get_radar.bash script is run each minute by the cron to fetch gif image from /usr/iris_data/gif on Radar2. Files that are not on Radar2 are removed from Atlantis.

On Radar2, the gif_script.bash is run each minute by the cron to archive older than two day files from /usr/iris_data/gif_*/, where '*' represents different product directories.
