20060626: scheduled downtime for unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu

Users of unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu data services:

Tomorrow at about 17 UTC unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu will be taken offline
for service and relocation within the SSEC Data Center.  We anticipate
that the machine will be unavailable for approximately one hour, but
that estimate could be wrong.

This outage will affect a number of services that unidata2 provides:

- creation of images for the UNIWISC (aka MCIDAS) datastream

- McIDAS ADDE serving of the EAST (full GOES-East imagery), WEST
  (full GOES-West imagery), and GOESEAST (GOES-East imagery composited
  with sectors from the Northern and Southern hemispheres) datasets

- injection and relay of a number of IDD datastreams

- archival-of and FTP access-to UNIWISC IDD satellite imagery

The service is being performed to correct the cause of unidata2's
outage at the end of last week.

We apologize for the needed service interruption.

Cheers,

Tom Yoksas
