Update on TDWR SPG Product Distribution
17 December 2008
NEW UPDATE AS OF 12/17/08:
1. Beta Test of TDWR SPG Product Distribution Updates.
a. We have not resolved communications problems with the TSLC – SPG
connection. The next opportunity to initiate this data flow will be
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 after the holiday moratorium (December 19
through January 5) on new connections/changes.
b. Products continue to be collected from the SPGs connected to: TFLL,
TLVE, TPBI, TMIA, TEWR, and TDTW.
2. TDWR SPG Status Update Page. The real-time monitoring of WSR-88D -
TDWR SPG product status is available at:
http://weather.noaa.gov/monitor/radar3/. Early in 2009 when system
upgrades are completed, this consolidated monitoring page will be
available via the current monitoring page URL:
http://weather.noaa.gov/monitor/radar/. We will advise users of the
planned transition date in advance.
3. Real-time Displays of TDWR Products. The NWS is testing displays of
TDWR products for incorporation in the RIDGE web site
(http://radar.weather.gov/). We will announce when the products will be
available for all users when the testing is completed – planned for
February 2009.
Additional information on the TDWR SPG project and products are
available at: ftp://ftp.roc.noaa.gov/PUB/TDWR_SPG_INFO.
