DRAFT EMAIL TO LEVEL II List:

Reference TIN 09-51 regarding NL2 data from the Hawaiian sites.

The Radar Operations Center team in Hawaii reports the NEXRAD frame relay upgrades and software configuration changes for enabling Level II from each of four radars in Hawaii was completed Monday afternoon. Each Level II feed was verified getting to the Honolulu WFO. The associated NOAAnet service upgrade is in progress. The Hawaii radars are not turned on yet (weather in the area). Hopefully they will be turned on today, but we can't modify the system until the weather cooperates.The data from all 4 radars will start at the same time. The data will flow directly to the NWSTG and then be disseminated to users via the U. of Maryland MAX gigapop as per the new Level II architecture. Contact your Top Tier provider on how to download the data from them.

The status of these sites will initially be listed under the NWS Western Region on the NWS Level II status page: Please let me know if you have any questions. I will provide further status updates, as soon as possible.
