MEMORANDUM FOR:  Distribution E

FROM:            Allan Darling
Deputy Director, NCEP Central Operations (NCO) 
SUBJECT:         Scheduled Operational Changes and Upgrades


NEW NOAA NWS NCEP SUPERCOMPUTER IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
As the final test of the new supercomputers, NCEP is planning to disseminate all 12Z cycle products operationally from the new Stratus Supercomputer in Gaithersburg on August 12. If this test goes well we will declare Stratus operational at 18Z on August 12 and NCEP production will remain on Stratus.
Originally, the advertised plan was for the new supercomputers to be declared operational on August 18. However with the anticipated increase in hurricane activity in the Atlantic next week, NCEP NCO has decided to implement the new supercomputer on August 12, if possible, to minimize the effect of the transition on NWS operations.
