514 NOUS42 KWNO 081609 ADMNFD SPECIAL NCEP DISCUSSION CENTRAL OPERATIONS/NCEP/NWS/WASHINGTON DC 1610 UTC TUE AUG 08 2000 081610Z...SHORT NOTICE OSO OUTAGE...OSO WENT DOWN AT 1420Z SO THAT NWSTG CAN SWITCH OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS. THE OUTAGE WAS TO BE 30 MIN BUT IT IS NOW AT 110 MIN AND COUNTING. A MAJOR PROBLEM IN EXECUTING THE SYSTEMS SWITCH DEVELOPED. NO DATA HAS FLOWED THRU THE OSO GATEWAY SINCE 1420Z. THERE IS STILL NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN OSO WILL BE RESTORED TO SERVICE. WE REGRET THE INCONVENIENCE THIS IS SURELY CAUSING. THE 12Z NCEP MODEL PRODUCTION IS ON SCHEDULE AND FORTUNATELY MODEL DATA COUNTS ARE NORMAL AS SUFFICIENT DATA WERE INGESTED FOR MODEL INPUT BEFORE THE OSO OUTAGE. UNFORTUNATELY THE DELIVERY OF MODEL OUTPUT CANNOT HAPPEN UNTIL OSO COMES BACK UP AND THE GATEWAY OPENED. THEREFORE MAJOR DELAYS OF 12Z MODEL PRODUCTS IS LIKELY. THE 15Z AND 16Z SFC RUCS WILL BE DELAYED OR UNAVAILABLE. THE RUC2 RUNS OF THE SAME HOURS WILL HAVE DEFICIENT DATA INPUT. FYI...GOES 8 /EAST/ MANEUVER IS STILL ON. THERE WILL BE NO GOES 8 IMAGERY FROM 1715Z THRU 1814Z. STOUDT/SDM/NCO/NCEP NNNN ---------- End Forwarded Message ----------
