Re: NGM MOS transmission broken?

Art,

NWS was having trouble with NGM MOS today as noted in the bulletins
below regarding the 00Z run. The 12Z run did have the $ character in
front of the station ID as you mention, so looks like problems still
exist but I have not seen additional information. The NWS data
management web based customer support inquiry form:

09/0730Z...NGM MOS GUIDANCE...THE 9/00Z NGM MOS GUIDANCE WAS 
PREPARED AT NCEP AND SENT TO THE GATEWAY.  HOWEVER...IT LOOKS 
LIKE SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATIONS MADE TODAY ARE PREVENTING THE
GATEWAY FROM PARSING THE BULLETINS PROPERLY.  A FEW OF THE
FWC/FOUS14 BULLETINS WERE ULTIMATELY TRANSMITTED TO END USERS BUT
MOST WERE NOT.  WILL NEED TO GET THE SUPPORT STAFFS OF NCEP
AND GATEWAY TO WORK ON THIS PROBLEM.

AVAILABLE.  THE NCEP PRODUCTION ANALYST BACKED OUT OF THE 
SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION MADE EARLIER TODAY.  A RERUN OF THE
IBM PRODUCTION JOB THEN PRODUCED THE NGM FWC/FOUS14 BULLETINS.
