ESRL/GSD model data outages, starting 18Z 5/16/2015

NOAA/ESRL/GSD Data Users,

We have been experiencing degraded download rates from the
NCEP ftp server to ESRL/GSD since about 18Z on Saturday 5/16.
As a result downloads of critical data sets needed as inputs
to GSD models have been failing, leading to outages or spotty
coverage for a number of experimental models run at GSD,
including HRRR, RAP, and FIM.

This appears to be a broader network issue than just between
NOAA/ESRL and NCEP. The Boulder Network Operations Center

has been notified, and is investigating.

If there are further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact

Systems Support at 303.497.6887 or at address@hidden.
