MEMORANDUM FOR: Distribution E
FROM: John H. Ward
Chief, Production Management Branch
SUBJECT: Changes to the NWS Production Suite
On 15 July 2003 all FAX charts based on output from the
Nested Grid Model (NGM) will be removed from the NWS FTP server.
A list of products to be eliminated is contained at the end of
this memo. Alternate products can be found at:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/.
NGM MOS FAX products can be found at:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/synop/products.htm.
On or about 1 July 2003 NCEP will be instituting a policy to
limit access to restricted data to authorized users of the
NCEP Central Computer System. All ftp and WEB access to these
restricted data types will be terminated on that date. Further
details on restricted data can be found at:
http://www.ncep.noaa.gov/NCO/DMQAB/RestrictedData/.
The 30-day operational readiness test for the new Central
Computer System (CCS) is continuing. It is anticipated that the
CCS will not become operational prior to 8 May 2003. An exact
date will be determined as soon as possible.
In order to reduce the impact of this delay on planned
implementations, the moratorium on changes to the Production
Suite is being lifted and Production Management Branch will now
accept requests for changes. Routine implementations will
commence by late April. For changes that do not require
additional system resource, implementations will be performed on
both the IBM SP and the CCS. Changes that require additional
system resources, such as the GFDL upgrade and the initiation of
a Fire Weather run, will be implemented on the CCS only.
Products related to the CCS implementations will not be available
until the CCS becomes operational.
By implementing changes on the CCS that are not on the IBM
SP, the switch over to the CCS will not be as transparent as
previously advertised. The NCO WEB page which lists upcoming
changes to the Production Suite
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/changes
will indicate whether upcoming changes will be made on the CCS
only or on both systems. Once the operational date is
established, this WEB site can be used to determine what changes
in product volume, content, or format that will occur when the
CCS becomes operational.
The Production Status WEB page for the parallel runs on the
CCS is available at:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwpara/prodstat/index.html
The 30-day average times contained on this WEB page should
closely mirror the schedule on the IBM SP prior to the T254
Global Forecast System (GFS) implementation. The parallel status
page now contains the target completion times for specific
forecast products from each model run. As model upgrades are
implemented, every effort will be made to deliver products no
later than the target times indicated. No changes will be made
to these target times without discussions with the customers of
NCEP products. In a number of cases the target times do not
currently match the 30-day average completion time. The target
times are based on plans to adjust the production suite to
conform to a completely symmetric six hour forecast cycle, after
the transition to the CCS is completed.
An on-line user guide for code conversion to the CCS is
available on the NCEP internal WEB server at:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/ccs_guide/
The guide will be continually updated as new features or
problems with the code conversion are uncovered.
