SUBJECT: Changes to the NWS Production Suite1. The NWS Telecommunication Operation Center (TOC) expects to have the replacement telecommunication gateway (RTG) system available to all customers by 13 November. Both the old and new gateway systems will run in parallel for 30 days.
With the availability of the RTG, both GRIB1 and GRIB2 files will become available. The six-month overlap period for GRIB2 will, therefore, begin on 8 November and terminate 13 May 2007. At that time, GRIB1 data will no longer be available on the RTG. In the event that customers can not complete the transition to GRIB1 by 13 May, requests to maintain some limited GRIB1 data will be addressed on a case by case basis.2. The moratorium on changes to the NCEP production suite will continue until the new (Mist) Central Computer System (CCS) becomes operational no later than January 2007. A full parallel production suite is running on Mist. The /com file system on Mist is being populated from the parallel run and is not being mirrored from the operational system. 3. Upcoming changes to NCEP's production suite can be viewed at the following website: http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/changes/ This WEB site contains details on any product or timing changes that are associated with upcoming implementations.
