SUBJECT: Changes to the NWS Production Suite1. All GRIB1 data currently residing on the NCEP & TOC FTP servers will be removed on 28 January 2008. The schedule for the GRIB1 to GRIB2 conversion for NOAAPORT data has not yet been established. A schedule will be published as soon as it becomes available. It is anticipated that no GRIB1 data will be removed from NOAAORT prior to January 2008. NCEP provides software to convert GRIB2 formatted data back into GRIB1. Please use the link below to obtain the software utility to convert formats: http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/codes/GRIB2/ Information regarding product equivalents for GRIB1 and GRIB2 on the NWS FTP TOC servers (tgdata.nws.noaa.gov and tgftp.nws.noaa.gov) and NCEP ftp server (ftp.ncep.noaa.gov) can be found via the link below: http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/GRIB1_to_GRIB2.shtml Please direct all questions concerning the software codes to the following NCO PMB Dataflow Helpdesk: NCEP.PMB.Dataflow@xxxxxxxx 2. Upcoming major changes to NCEP's production suite and details on any product or timing changes associated with upcoming implementations can be viewed at the following website: http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/changes/ Test data for each of these proposed changes should be available six weeks prior to implementation. Anyone wishing to receive formal notice of the final pre-implementation testing and the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed changes can subscribe to the Model Evaluation mailing list via: https://lstsrv.ncep.noaa.gov/mailman/listinfo/ncep.list.modelevalinfo
