NWS NCEP CENTRAL OPERATIONS CAMP SPRINGS MD
1721Z MON JAN 03 2011


TO USERS OF THE REAL-TIME OCEAN FORECAST SYSTEM (RTOFS) -
ATLANTIC:

THE NUMERICAL INSTABILITY THAT CAUSED THE DEC. 24 FAILURE OF THE
RTOFS-ATLANTIC FORECAST HAS PASSED.  WE ARE CHANGING THE
BAROCLINIC TIME STEP BACK FROM 60 SECONDS TO 80 SECONDS, SO OUTPUT
FROM THE RTOFS-ATLANTIC WILL AGAIN BE AVAILABLE AT THE PRE-DEC. 24
DELIVERY TIME.    A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE INSTABILITY PROBLEM IS
EXPECTED SOME TIME THIS
MONTH.
