MEMORANDUM FOR: Distribution E
FROM: John H. Ward
Chief, Production Management Branch
SUBJECT: Changes to the NWS Production Suite
The implementation of the 20 km RUC was delayed until
Wednesday, 17 April due to critical weather. Additionally, items
287 and 288 were implemented and then pulled after the products
from these changes were unable to be routed by NWSTG.
At 00Z on 24 April 2002 the 00Z MRF model will be replaced
with look-alike grids from the 00Z AVN model. These look-alike
grids will be available through Fall 2002. The look-alike grids
that are currently being produced in parallel production will be
discontinued at this time.
The advertised changes to the BUFR data stored on the NCEP
supercomputer originally planned for 26 March, have been
rescheduled for 7 May. This delay is necessary to facilitate
testing of the large number of applications that utilize these
BUFR codes and to accommodate previously scheduled travel plans
by the programmers involved with this implementation.
ALL PROGRAMMERS WHO UTILIZE THESE BUFR DATA SHOULD DETERMINE
IF THE PROPOSED BUFR CHANGES WILL IMPACT THEIR PROCESSING AND
TEST THEIR CODES WITH THE TEST DATASETS LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF
THIS MEMO. If there are other codes which must be modified prior
to the BUFR data change, please submit JIFS as soon as possible.
See the bottom of this memo for more information.
In early June the resolution of the NCEP global model will
be increased from T170L42 to T254L64.

As additional information about each implementation becomes
available, links will be added on the change summary page.
