Status Editor /psd/programs/2008/hmt/ We will be replacing the FSLC NAS on Monday morning (3/30/09). This work requires that all cluster packages be shutdown and all users log off of the workstations and servers. The NFS mounts to the existing NAS must be removed so all processes relying on those NFS partitions must be stopped.
FSLC will be unavailable from 6:00 AM Monday morning (3/30/09) until 5:00 PM Wednesday (4/1/09). No HMT model data will be available until after the system is back up.  We will update the blog when this occurs.

  • Data from Point Sur (PTS) is now back online.  The problem was the satellite internet communication link; the satellite antenna became mis-aligned due to strong winds last weekend.  Today, the dish was re-aligned and the data started flowing again.

Data from the Point Sur (PTS) site stopped being communicated back to Boulder on the morning of 15 February.  It has been determined that the problem is related to a malfunction in the satellite internet connection; there does not appear to be a disruption in data collection.  PSD staff are troubleshooting the problem.  If necessary, a site visit is possible later this week.

  • Data from the Chico (CCO) site is intermittently not being communicated to Boulder due to a phone line problem.  PSD is working with the local phone company to address the problem.

  • As discussed on our call Monday 9 February, there have been several intermittent data outages throughout the network over the last few weeks.  Many of these are thought to be due to communication malfunctions in the data acquisition computers at those sites.   The "fleet" of computers used to acquire the data are relatively old and are due to be replaced over the summer.
  • Instrumentation at the Chowchilla (CCL) site is down due to a malfunction (i.e., not a communication problem); PSD staff will visit the site next week to repair.

The supplemental models provided via GSD stopped yesterday (Monday) with the 21Z cycle.  That's when maintenance work on the supercomputer began, and they're not done yet.  We did sneak in a 12Z cycle for today, and we've managed to move that by hand to the computer here in Boulder where it has to be for the HMT sites to get at it.  So those are there, and there's a chance we'll have the 21Z cycle for you later today.  We expect a return to routine ops after that.

  • The data communication problem from Cazadero (CZD) has been resolved (as of 22 January)
  • The wind profiler at Point Sur (PTS) has been repaired (as of 22 January).
  • The ETI precipitation gauge at Huysink (HYS) has been repaired (as of 21 January).
  • Surface meteorology data at Big Bend (BBD) is not available due to a datalogger power problem.  It is suspected that one of the surface meteorology instruments is draining the battery excessively.  PSD staff are investigating.
