FROM: John H. Ward Chief, Production Management Branch <snip>The annual holiday moratorium on changes to the NCEP Production Suite will begin on Wednesday, 14 December 2005 and end on Monday, 9 January 2006. Any requests for changes for implementation prior to the moratorium should be submitted no later than close of business on Tuesday, 6 December. As always, changes required to correct operational problems will be implemented throughout the holiday period.
<snip>The NWS Telecommunications Operations Center (TOC) is currently under a moratorium on changes to operational data flow, while they replace their legacy mainframe system and the Andrews File System (AFS). During the moratorium no new NCEP model data will be added to TOC FTP server (tgftp.nws.noaa.gov), AWIPS, or NOAAPORT. Limited resources on the NCEP FTP server (ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov) will not permit it to be utilized as an interim source of new data during the moratorium. The moratorium is expected to last through March 2006.
