FYI...
-------- Original Message --------
Due to NOAA backup testing the GFS, ETA (and several other) 12 UTC model
runs have been
cancelled.
See below:
Organization: NCEP/NCO/PMB
All users of NCEP model data:
NCEP will perform a quarterly super computer backup exercise on
Wednesday, 14
July 2004 during the 12 UTC forecast cycle (1200-1700 UTC models). If
weather
conditions preclude performing this exercise on this date, we will
attempt it
again the following day, Thursday 15 July 2004 (again during the 12 UTC
forecast
cycle).
For this current exercise NCEP model data will not be made available
during the
12 UTC forecast cycle. The only exception to this is that the 12 UTC
NGM MOS
and GFS MOS products will be distributed at the end of the test
(approximately 3
hours late).
Further information on the type of products available from the backup
processing
and their approximate delivery times can be found at the following web site:
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/ncepbk/ncep_backup.html
Example data sets from our backup partners (AFWA, FNMOC, and NOAA/FSL)
can be
found at:
ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf_backup/
As always NCEP appreciates your patience during these exercises which are
required to assure the continued flow of model guidance in the event of an
outage at our super computer facility.
