NSSL 4KM WRF OUTAGE

[Patrick Marsh]

Due to ongoing hardware issues at NSSL, the NSSL 4-km WRF runs have been suspended indefinitely beginning with last night's run. We hope this will be a short disruption and that they will return later this week. However, there is a chance it may be down for several weeks. I'll post back when it is up and running again.

Also, in the coming weeks I will be revamping the NSSL WRF website and providing a place for users to submit feedback regarding the NSSL WRF performance. If there is some combination of graphics you'd like to see, or if there is a field that currently isn't plotted you would like to see added, let me know. I can't promise to include every request, but I'll see what I can do.

I just wanted to give an update regarding the NSSL 4-km WRF.

The machine that the NSSL-WRF is run on was completely "reset" meaning everything was restored back to the day it was first installed. This means a lot of tools had to be rebuilt, reimaged, remounted, etc. As anyone who has watched the NSSL-WRF website may already know, the NSSL-WRF is attempted to be run nightly, but is still up and down; some days it will run (Sunday 00Z run) and others it crashes (Tuesday 00Z run). NSSL is continuing to work on making the runs stable and hopefully will have all the bugs ironed out before the start of VORTEX II.

If you have questions, feel free to send me a PM, email ([email protected]), or post in this thread.

Thanks,
