ATTENTION ALL SADIS USERS

INCIDENT NUMBER (N/A):

SERVICE(S) AFFECTED:
SADIS 2G
SADIS FTP

DATASTREAM(S) AFFECTED:
GRIB

DETAILS:

PLEASE NOTE THAT WITH EFFECT FROM THE 1200 UTC MODEL RUN ON 09 MAR 2010 THE UK MET OFFICE SUCCESFULLY IMPLEMENTED ITS 25 KM HORIZONTAL RESOLUTION GLOBAL MODEL.

THE EXTRA RESOLUTION WILL ENABLE MORE ACCURATE FORECASTS TO BE PRODUCED BUT AS A CONSEQUENCE IT WILL TAKE SLIGHTLY LONGER TO GENERATE WAFS AVIATION THINNED GRIB1 DATA.

IT IS EXPECTED THAT GRIB1 DATA WILL BE AVAILABLE SOME 10-15 MINUTES LATER THAN CURRENTLY, I.E. DELIVERED APPROXIMATELY 3HRS 45MINS AFTER DATA TIME RATHER THAN 3HRS 30MINS AFTER DATA TIME. THIS CHANGE IN AVAILABILITY TIME WILL BE ESSENTIALLY PERMANANT FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE THOUGH SOME LIMITED IMPROVEMENTS ARE POSSIBLE AS PROCESSES ARE OPTIMISED IN COMING WEEKS.

WAFC LONDON REGRETS ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED BY THE SLIGHT DELAY TO PRODUCTION BUT IS CONFIDENT ITS ENHANCEMENTS WILL RESULT IN BETTER FORECAST INFORMATION AND THAT ITS PRODUCTION SCHEDULE WILL REMAIN WITHIN THE DELIVERY TARGET OF 3HRS 55MINS AFTER DATA TIME.

NOTE: GRIB1 RESOLUTION IS UNCHANGED, BUT TAKES ITS DATA FROM THE ENHANCED MODEL.

DATE/TIME OF NEXT UPDATE (N/A):
