[CONDUIT #CII-354873]: CONDUIT GFS data stopped

Jeff,

We completed the switch of the RUC/NAM/GFS products to the NCEP server yesterday
as mentioned on the CONDUIT email list. All products on CONDUIT now follow
the ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov file directory names (the older system used the NWSTG 
names
and the NWS AFS network).

You'll note that the total volume to CONDUIT has increased as we were able to 
add the
extra forecast hours in the RUC and RUC GRIB2, as well as extend the GFS 0.5 
degree
through 180 hours:

I've attached the conduit email list messages below with the links for pqact 
patterns.

CONDUIT recipients,

At 18Z, the remaining CONDUIT files (NAM, RUC, and GFS) still being
inserted using the NWSTG naming convention will be transitioned to the
NCEP file names:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/gfs_files.html
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/ruc2_files.html
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/conduit/ldm_idd/nam_files.html

As always, please contact address@hidden should
you have any problems with your receipt of these products,

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
address@hidden.
