SUBJECT: CHANGE WSR-88D CLUTTER FILTER CONTROL PRODUCT AWIPS CATEGORY NAME: EFFECTIVE OCT 27 2009 REFERENCE: DATA MGT MESSAGE 08-09.01 / CENTRAL COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF WSR-88D CFC PRODUCTS
STARTING OCTOBER 27 2009...THE AWIPS CATEGORY NAME OF THE WEATHER SURVEILLANCE RADAR 1988 DOPPLER /WSR-88D/ CLUTTER FILTER CONTROL PRODUCT /CFC/ / PRODUCT NUMBER 34/ WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE FROM NCF TO NC1 NC2 NC3 NC4 NC5. THE NUMBERS 1 THROUGH 5 WILL REFLECT SEGMENT 1 THROUGH 5. ON THE CENTRAL SERVER FTP SITE... INSTEAD OF DS.34CFC... THE PRODUCTS WILL BE STORED IN FTP DIRECTORY NAMES: DS.34CF1... DS.34CF2... DS.34CF3... DS34CF4 AND DS.34CF5. THE CHANGE IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THE USE OF NCF AS A NAME FOR ALL 5 SEGMENTS CAUSES THE PRODUCTS FROM SEGMENTS 1 - 4 TO BE OVER WRITTEN IN THE NATIONAL CLIMATIC DATA CENTER ARCHIVES. THIS CHANGE WILL NOT IMPACT THE BANDWIDTH FOR REAL TIME USERS AND WILL IMPROVE THE ABILITY OF WSR-88D DATA USERS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CLUTTER SUPPRESSION APPLIED TO THE DATA. 
EXAMPLE OF NEW DATA PRODUCT APPEARANCE FOR THE KTLX WSR-88D:

AWIPS ID      WMO HEADER
