SUBJECT  NEW 0600/1800 UTC AVN MOS GUIDANCE

ON OCTOBER 16... 2001... WE WILL BE IMPLEMENTING NEW 0600/1800
UTC AVN MOS GUIDANCE PACKAGES FOR THE SAME SITES AND IN THE SAME
FORMAT AS THE CURRENT 0000/1200 UTC PACKAGES.  THE ALPHANUMERIC
TEXT MESSAGES WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AWIPS UNDER THE MAV
PRODUCT IDENTIFIER AND ON THE SATELLITE BROADCAST NETWORK
/SBN/ AND THE FAMILY OF SERVICES WITH THE WMO HEADERS FOPA20...
FOUS21-26...  AND FOAK37-39.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE
THE SAME PRODUCT IDENTIFIERS USED FOR THE 0000/1200 UTC
PACKAGES.  PRODUCTS CONTAINING ALL OF THE AVN MOS GUIDANCE IN
BUFR ARE ALSO AVAILABLE.  FOR THE WMO HEADERS OF THE BUFR
PRODUCTS... PLEASE SEE

HTTP/COLON///WWW.NWS.NOAA.GOV/TDL/SYNOP/STADRG.HTM

NOTE THAT IN THIS FIRST IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 0600/1800 UTC AVN
MOS GUIDANCE PRODUCTS... GUIDANCE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR
ALL WEATHER ELEMENTS.  IN THE OCTOBER IMPLEMENTATION...
GUIDANCE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION... TOTAL
SKY COVER... CEILING HEIGHT... AND PRECIPITATION TYPE.  THE
PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION /POP/ GUIDANCE IS SCHEDULED FOR
IMPLEMENTATION AT THE END OF OCTOBER.  DURING IMPLEMENTATIONS
WHICH ARE SCHEDULED FOR LATER DURING THE FALL OF 2001... WE WILL
ADD GUIDANCE FOR MAX/MIN TEMPERATURE... SURFACE TEMPERATURE
AND DEW POINT... PRECIPITATION AMOUNT... THUNDERSTORMS... AND
SEVERE WEATHER.  GUIDANCE FOR VISIBILITY AND OBSTRUCTION TO
VISION WILL BE ADDED TO THE MESSAGES DURING THE SPRING OF 2002.

TECHNICAL PROCEDURES BULLETIN NO. 481 DESCRIBES THE 0600/1800
UTC AVN MOS MESSAGES AND IS AVAILABLE AT THE FOLLOWING WEB SITE

HTTP/COLON///WWW.NWS.NOAA.GOV/OM/TPB/INDDRAFT.HTM

THESE SETS OF WIND VERIFICATIONS SHOW THAT THE 0600/1800 UTC
AVN MOS WIND GUIDANCE IS MORE ACCURATE THAN THE SUBSEQUENT
1200/0000 UTC NGM MOS WIND GUIDANCE.

THE 0600/1800 UTC PACKAGES WILL BE ISSUED AT APPROXIMATELY
1030/2230 UTC.  BECAUSE WE HAVE USED THE SAME WMO HEADERS...
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE GUIDANCE PACKAGES WILL UPDATE THE
PREVIOUS 0000/1200 UTC PACKAGES IN THE USER S DATABASE.  USERS
MAY WANT TO ENSURE THAT THEY RETAIN ADEQUATE PREVIOUS
0000/1200 UTC PRODUCTS TO ENSURE A COMPLETE SET OF WEATHER
ELEMENT GUIDANCE.
