NESDIS Ingest

Datatypes listed in red are considered "critical" to NCEP systems so any shortage of these types should be investigated immediately.

NOTES:

(1) SERVER "DDS" refers to "dds.nedsis.noaa.gov" and "SATEPSDIST1E" refers to satepsdist1e.nesdis.noaa.gov.

(2) Prefix of /dcom/us007003/yyyymmdd assumed for all entries in "DESTINATION" column unless otherwise explicitly stated.

(3) If any of these SNOW files are old, NCEP models will be able to run to completion. However, current data is always preferable, so someone should investigate any problems right away by contacting NESDIS Operations. If two consecutive days of data are missed, EMC would also like to be notified of the problem and informed on the plan to solve it. You may contact George Gayno, 301-763-8000 x7745.

(4) On Tuesday mornings, the NOAA-17 satellite is in special mode for four orbits, so a 6 - 9 hour gap in receipt of PRD.OZONE.PMFV8.*.D*.S*.E*.* files may occur at that time, which is normal. Other times, report problems with PRD.OZONE.* files to NESDIS Operations, and during daytime business hours, you may contact Donna McNamara or Tim Kasheta.

(5)The mnemonic name refers to the name used in NCEP's Real Time Data Monitoring System. A complete list of mnemonic names is here.
