[nws-changes] 20081010: NCEP update

NOTE: The nws-changes mailing list is no longer active. The list archives are made available for historical reasons.

               ----  OPERATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS  ----               

1.  The annual holiday moratorium on changes to the CCS Production Suite 
will begin on Wednesday, 17 December 2008.  With the transition to the 
IBM Power6 system beginning in January 2009, the moratorium will 
continue through approximately 1 April 2009.

The last date to submit Requests for Change (RFC) for minor 
implementations will be Monday, 20 November.  For major changes, 
requiring extended parallel runs, the last day to submit RFCs will be 
Wednesday, 1 October.

As usual, changes to resolve operational problems will be accepted 
throughout the moratorium.

Our intention is to implement all CCS related RFCs by Tuesday, 16 
December.  Any outstanding CCS related RFCs remaining after that date 
will be returned to the users for testing and validation on the Power 6 
system.  Please let us know if you have any requests which must be 
implemented prior to the moratorium.

2.  NCO is scheduling a 2-hour window twice a week for testing revisions 
to the RFC application software.  Testing will be conducted on Tuesday 
and Wednesday from 0600L to 0800L beginning on Tuesday, 23 September 
2008.  All users should avoid using the Request for Change (RFC) 
application during this time or risk the possibility of losing or 
replicating data.

3.  Upcoming major changes to NCEP's production suite and details on any 
product or timing changes associated with upcoming implementations can 
be viewed at the following website:

http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/changes/


Test data for each of these proposed changes should be available six 
weeks prior to implementation.  Anyone wishing to receive formal notice 
of the final pre-implementation testing and the opportunity to provide 
feedback on the proposed changes can subscribe to the Model Evaluation 
mailing list via:
