FAMILY OF SERVICES SUBSCRIBERS
OTHER USERS OF NWS RADAR DATA
FROM: GRANT NEWBY, METEOROLOGIST
TECHNIQUES DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY, NSSFC
SUBJECT: UPDATE OF COMPUTER AND PRODUCT OUTAGES AT NSSFC
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CHANGE HAS NO IMPACT TO NWWS USERS.
We are continuing to further stabilize our mainframe computers
and are now able to use many of our datasets, except model fields
used for numerous derived fields and the data fields necessary to
generate the auto radar observations. The radar summary chart is
being produced without the tops and echoes from the wsr-88d
sites.
Our back-up method for creating the auto radar observations, via
NESDIS mainframe, may be ready for testing sometime this
afternoon.
Plans are being made to keep the NSSFC programmers at work during
the weekend hours in order to restore the generation of the most
critical products, specifically the auto radar observations.
Restoration of the lightning graphics for the NWS offices has
been completed and is available
Further updates will be sent on Saturday and Sunday, August 12
and 13th.
