Subject: Corrected: Termination of NCEPs Legacy Climate 
          Diagnostic Center Products: Effective July 23, 2013
Corrected to delete paragraph stating NWS will terminate the CDC 
products no later than July 16, 2013.

Amended to set the final effective date for Tuesday, July 23

Effective Tuesday, July 23, 2013, the National Centers for
Environmental Prediction (NCEP) will stop producing legacy
Climate Diagnostic Center (CDC) ensemble-based precipitation and
surface temperature grids and disseminating them via the NCEP
server. These products are not available via NOAAPORT.
A Public Information Statement was issued on March 4, 2013 
requesting comments on the proposed termination of these
products.
http://www.weather.gov/os/notification/pns13cdc_removal.htm Based on responses received, NWS will terminate the CDC 
products no later than July 23, 2013.  A revised
TIN will be issued if necessary should the termination date
be changed.
The CDC products use an early global atmospheric version of 
the Climate Data Analysis System (CDAS) with a resolution
of T62 and 28 model layers.  This is followed by a 15
member (control with 7 pairs) ensemble forecast, run at the
00Z cycle only.  Forecasts for precipitation and 995mb
temperature out to 360 hours are posted on the NCEP server
at:
http://www.ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/cdc/prod/ or ftp://ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/cdc/prod/ These products have become obsolete and users should use 
the current operational output from the CDAS and Global
Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS).  More details about the
products available from these systems is available at:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/products/ If you have questions about this termination, please
