As Pete Pokrandt (UW/AOS) noted yesterday, power to the University of
Wisconsin-Madison AOS/SSEC building will be shut off on Thursday, July

campus wide project to upgrade high voltage equipment entering campus

The power outage will affect the following services that are available
on unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu:
- creation of Unidata-Wisconsin datastream imagery (IDD feedtype
UNIWISC aka MCIDAS)
- archiving-of and FTP access-to Unidata-Wisconsin datastream
imagery (the power outage will result in a gap of the running
archive of Unidata-Wisconsin imagery that will not be backfilled)
- relay of a the following IDD datastreams:
UNIWISC (aka MCIDAS)
All NOAAPORT datastreams: HDS, IDS|DDPLUS, NGRID, NIMAGE, NNEXRAD

GOESEAST - images included in the Unidata-Wisconsin IDD
datastream that also includes a 1 km version
of the North/South composites
EAST - full GOES-East imager and sounder imagery
WEST - full GOES-West imager and sounder imagery
The power outage will affect the following services that are available
through UW/AOS machines:

All NOAAPORT datastreams except NGRID: HDS, IDS|DDPLUS, NIMAGE, NNEXRAD
NEXRAD2 (aka CRAFT)

- various web pages that hold displays of current data
Sites using either unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu or one or more of the
aos.wisc.edu IDD relays should switch to their failovers before the
power is shut off.
We apologize for this extended interruption in services.
