Subject: Changes to the NWS Production Suite
1. 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.
Further details on the impact of the moratorium will be provided as they become
available.
