Image of horizontal rule

During January and February 2004, NCEP performed an analysis of on the usage of data on its ftp server (ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov) and the NWS ftp server (tgftp.nws.noaa.gov).  From this analysis a list was compiled of data sets on the NCEP ftp server that were not accessed during this period.  This list is provided below for the general public to review.  NCEP will solicit feedback on this list until June 15, 2004.  On June 29, 2004 the remaining data sets on this list will be removed from the NCEP ftp server.

Please direct questions or comments on data contained in the list below to the Web Manager.

A web page listing all of the data NCEP has available will be provided shortly.  Please check this page for the link when it becomes available.
