<snip> FROM: John H. Ward Chief, Production Management Branch Subject: Changes to the NWS Production Suite1. NCEP Central Operations (NCO) is currently working on a new JIF server to replace the IBM1 system. Users of the JIF software on IBM1 will be directed to the new server in the near future. More information on this change will be forthcoming in the following weeks.
2. A new mailing list has been established to aid in soliciting feedback on proposed changes to the NCEP Production Suite. At the point in the evaluation process when test data is available, an announcement will be made via the model evaluation mailing list. Comments or concerns from the community about the proposed changes can be submitted using the same mailing list. Subscriptions to the model evaluation mailing list can be managed at:
https://lstsrv.ncep.noaa.gov/mailman/listinfo/ncep.list.modelevalinfo3. The NWS Telecommunications Operations Center (TOC) is currently under a moratorium on changes to operational data flow, while they replace their legacy mainframe system and the Andrews File System (AFS). During the moratorium no new NCEP model data will be added to TOC FTP server (tgftp.nws.noaa.gov), AWIPS, or NOAAPORT. Limited resources on the NCEP FTP server (ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov) will not permit it to be utilized as an interim source of new data during the moratorium. The moratorium is expected to last through March 2006.
