Hello Gembud, Thanks Unidata for sending out this summary. I have one correction to the GEMPAK section. The active discussion about "Super-Res" has been happening within the Github project and not on the gembud email list. A user just subscribed to gembud would not see that traffic. With a bit more testing, I hope to cut a patch release of GEMPAK with these products supported within a few days. With regards to why products were not discontinued on NOAAPort already. Just like how it took 10 years [1] to discontinue N0R, when N0Q came around due to legacy workflows within the NWS not supporting N0Q (cough radar.weather.gov cough). The are NWS entities still reliant on N0Q over noaaport and have not switched to other dissemination systems like those mentioned in the SCN which will continue to have N0Q available.

Here is a link to the service change notice regarding this change: https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf2/scn21-96_sbn_super-res.pdf The changes outlined in the notice are pertinent since ALL of the NEXRAD Level 3 products distributred in the IDD NEXRAD3 feed come from the NOAAPort SBN. As you will see in the notice, the timetable for making the content change was "on or Around February 2, 2022". Since a spot check this morning of availability of several of the products indicated to be dropped shows that they are still flowing in the IDD, it is clear that the full set of changes to products distributed in NOAAPort has not yet been made, but one should assume that the change will be forthcoming. GEMPAK Users: There have been active discussions in the gembud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx email list related to support of the new "Super-Res" images in GEMPAK. Users subscribed to gembud email list should already be aware of the community efforts, lead by Daryl Herzmann, being made to ensure that the new products are fully usable in the version of GEMPAK that can be downloaded from the Unidata GEMPAK area of GitHub: https://github.com/Unidata/gempak/ McIDAS-X and ADDE users: The public facing ADDE servers that we maintain have been upgraded to support the new "Super-Res" images now flowing in NOAAPort and the LDM/IDD NEXRAD3 feed. All of the code modifications needed for this support will be made in the next Unidata McIDAS-X release. TDS users: The new NEXRAD Level 3 products have been available on the Unidata maintained TDS instances since the products were first added to the NOAAPort SBN and the LDM/IDD NEXRAD3 feed. AWIPS Users: The new NEXRAD Level 3 products are also available from the Unidata EDEX instance in the Jetstream cloud. FNEXRAD national composite users: National composites of the "Super-Res" N0B base reflectivity product will be added to the LDM/IDD FNEXRAD feed after the latest version of GEMPAK available on GitHub has been built and tested in Unidata.
