Users of NEXRAD Level III products:
This is an informational heads-up on the upcoming removal of a number of
NEXRAD Level III products from the NOAAPort SBN and the IDD. (Recall that
all NEXRAD Level III products relayed in the IDD come from NOAAPort.)
Service Change Notice (SCN) 21-96 listed a number of NEXRAD Level
III products that were to be removed from NOAAPort around the end of
February, 2022. Instead of these products actually being removed, the
TTAAII portion of their WMO IDs (which are included in the LDM/IDD Product
IDs) were changed to SDUS6n. We received unofficial word this morning
that all SDUS6n products will be removed from NOAAPort sometime in early
May. A new Service Change Notice is in the process of being prepared,
and its issuance will represent official notice of the products removal.
Here is a comparison of the products to be removed listed in SCN 21-96
and the SDUS6n ones that are currently being sent in NOAAPort and relayed
in the NEXRAD3 feed in the IDD:
SCN 21-96 TTAAII SDUS6.

This comparison shows that there are 19 more products that are currently
being distributed in NOAAPort that were not included in the SCN 21-96
list of products to be removed. We have been assured that all of these
products will be removed in early May.
Again, this is an unofficial heads-up intended to alert users of products
that will be no longer available via NOAAPort or the IDD.
