Dear colleagues,

Just a quick note to say that the NCDC is now ingesting real time WSR-88D
base data
from the 6 CRAFT radars in and around Oklahoma!  This is being done via the
commodity internet as a prelude to using Abilene.  As I gear up for my
sabbatical
and significantly more attention on CRAFT-2, we see an opportunity for
adding about
3 dozen radars to the present network.  We should thus begin to see
significant
progress in a few more weeks.  Also, about 6 weeks ago I briefed NOAA
director
Jim Baker on our progress and plans and he was very excited.  In fact, he
asked how
long it would take to wire the entire network.  So I believe we're on the
right track!

I'm hoping that NCEP can follow the NCDC's lead, and the good news is that
NOAA
is formally becoming a part of Abilene.  The timing couldn't be better!

More soon.

Sincerely,

Kelvin
