SPECIAL NCEP DISCUSSION
CENTRAL OPERATIONS/NCEP/NWS/WASHINGTON DC
1950 UTC TUE SEP 26 2000
261950Z...THE 12Z ETA BUFR DATA WAS NOT RECOVERABLE AND WILL
NOT BE AVBL. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE. THE 18Z BUFR DATA
SHOULD BE AVBL BUT LATE. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME GLITCHES WITH
THE 18Z ETA RUN AND THE DELAY IS UP TO 25 MIN OVER THE BUILT-
IN 30 MIN DELAY RELATIVE TO THE PRE 22 KM ETA RUNS FOR A
TOTAL OF 55 MIN. THE BUILT IN 30 MIN DELAY WILL BE PERMANENT
DUE TO THE INCREASED COMPUTATIONAL INTENSIVENESS THAT IS
DEMANDED BY THE NEW 22 KM ETA TO WHAT WE HAD BECOME
ACCUSTOMED. IT IS HOPED THAT THE RESULTS OF THIS HIGHER
RESOLUTION VERSION WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT.
