1. NCEP Central Operations (NCO) has migrated to a new JIF server. The name of the new system is pmbops.ncep.noaa.gov. Users are now only able to submit and view JIF's from the pmbops web site. There is no need for user to re-register their JIF accounts.
2. 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.
3. The operational LDM software on Blue production will be upgraded from version 6.0.15 to 6.4.4.0 on 23 January 2006. The same upgrade will occur on White Production on 6 February 2006. This version has been running in development mode on Blue without issue since 16 November 2005.
