SUBJECT:          Changes to the NWS Production Suite


    Parallel production on ASP was terminated at 12Z Monday, 2
June.  ASP will remain available for a small number of special
projects through August 2003.  General user access to the IBM SP
will be terminated on Monday, 9 June.

    NCEP will perform a quarterly backup exercise on Wednesday,
9 July 2003 during the 12 UTC model cycle (1200-1800 UTC).  If
weather conditions preclude performing this exercise it will be
rescheduled for the 12 UTC model cycle on Thursday, 10 July.
During this test no operational products will be available from
the Central Computer System (CCS).  NGM and NGM MOS will be
transmitted at the conclusion of the test.  Backup products will
be made available on the TOC FTP server in place of the NCEP
products.  Further information on the type of products
available from the backup processing and their approximate
delivery times can be found at the following web site:

http://www.ncep.noaa.gov/NCO/PMB/nwprod/osobackup/ncep_backup.htm
l

    The Eta Spring bundle has been tentatively scheduled for
implementation on Tuesday, 8 July 2003.  The Technical Procedures
Bulletin describing these changes in detail can be found at:

    http://wwwt.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/tpb.spring03/tpb.htm

    On or about 19 August 2003 NCEP will institute a policy to
limit access to restricted data to authorized users of the NCEP
Central Computer System.  All ftp and WEB access to these
restricted data types will be terminated on that date.  A WEB
site containing information on the restricted data types will be
made available on a non restricted server within a few weeks.

    On 15 July 2003 all FAX charts based on output from the
Nested Grid Model (NGM) will be removed from the NWS FTP server.
Additionally, on 15 August 2003 all FAX charts based on output
from the Eta model will be removed from the NWS FTP server.  A
list of products to be eliminated is contained at the end of this
memo.  Alternate products can be found at:

    http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/.

    Alternate MOS products can be found at:

    http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/synop/products.htm.

2003 can be found at:
