CONDUIT Users,

On August 9, additional data sets were added to the CONDUIT data stream
originating from the new top level LDM server which accesses data sets
using the ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov file naming. On September 27 and October
17,
the remaining data sets on CONDUIT will be transitioned to the new LDM
server as
described below. The migration of these data sets to the new server
provides additional redundancy in the hardware used to insert the
products, as well as relieving
dependencies on the AFS file system.

On September 27, the ENSEMBLE data sets being delivered by CONDUIT will
transition from the tgftp.nws.noaa.gov files to the GRIB2 files found
under:
ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/gens/prod/gefs.YYYYMMDD/HH/pgrb2a/
The global ensembles currently comprise 10 members. In the near future,
NCEP will
increase the number of members to 14, as well as provide additional
parameters.
Sample LDM patterns for ensemble data can be found at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/ensemble_files.html#GRIB2

On October 17, the remaining NAM, RUC and GFS files already distributed
by
CONDUIT will change origination to the NCEP file names. 

Please send any questions you may have to
