Mr. Kozawa from Hatoyama Japan has informed us they were having a problem at CDAS ground station. We are receiving GMS data now, the visible data appears to have returned to normal received one good image at 0732Z, after that, it appears we are getting data with navigation.The first good image appeared @ 1232z on 11/01/01. Thank you SSDHelpdesk --------------------------------- 165 NOUS42 KWNO 011006 ADMNFD SPECIAL NCEP DISCUSSION CENTRAL OPERATIONS/NCEP/NWS/WASHINGTON DC 1005 UTC THU NOV 01 2001 011005Z...GMS DATA OUTAGE UPDATE.. THERE HAVE BEEN NO NEW UPDATES FROM THE JAPAN MET AGENCY REGARDING THE GMS DATA PROCESSING PROBLEM..BUT APPARENTLY GOOD 0732Z GMS FRAMES WERE RCVD..ALTHO THE DATA IS NOW ONCE AGAIN MISSING. THE JMA LOST THE CAPABILITY TO PROCESS AND CALIBRATE THE RAW GMS-5 SATELLITE DATA AFTER 31/1432Z AT THEIR GROUND RECEIVING STATION IN JAPAN..THEY ARE WORKING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.. THE GMS-5 SATELLITE IS FUNCTIONING OK..SO GMS RAW UNPROCESSED IMAGE DATA IS AVAILABLE DIRECTLY FROM THE SATELLITE TO USERS WHO CAN ACCESS VIA THIS METHOD..FOR EXAMPLE.. THE NASA WEB SITE AT THE FOLLOWING URL HAS RAW UNPROCESSED GMS-5 IMAGES.. FTP://RSD.GSFC.NASA.GOV/PUB/WEATHER/GMS-5/ ..ALL LOWER CASE EXCEPT FOR THE W IN WEATHER AND GMS.. WILL PASS ALONG ANY FURTHER INFO RCVD. BUREK/SDM/NCO/NCEP NNNN ---------- End Forwarded Message ----------
