DIFAX community,
The National Weather Service has informed Unidata that the DIFAX service
will be terminated eventually. Alden has encountered some problems with
the DIFAX service via the IDD, that they currently are providing.
Unidata has tracked these issues and coordinated some options that can be
utilized when the DIFAX service ceases to exist or Alden continues with
idd transmission difficulties.
Unidata is generating .gif imagery of these products via Redbook Graphics
and can be viewed or downloaded at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/chiz/redbook/
The University of Wisconsin is also generating DIFAX type products which
are available for viewing and download in postscript format at:
http://mapmaker.meteor.wisc.edu/difaxmaps/
NOAA also offers DIFAX type products for viewing and download in
compressed (G4) .tiff formats at:
http://weather.noaa.gov/fax/graph.shtml
and
http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/wefax/products.htm
DIFAX will cease operations in the near future, we offer these options as
interim solutions.
-Jeff
