Topic: NCCF Product Upgrade 1.14.2

Date/Time Issued: March 05, 2024  2210Z

Product(s) or Data Impacted:  SAR Winds, SNPP/N20/N21 VPW (w/ BUFR), SNPP/N20/N21 OMPS
V8TOs, SNPP/N20/N21 OMPS NP (w/ BUFR), MetOp-B/C/SNPP/N20/N21 SFR and blended SMOPS products

Date/Time of Initial Impact: March 6, 2024, 1800Z 

Date/Time of Expected End: March 6, 2024, 1900Z 

Length of Outage: 1 hour

The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Winds, SNPP/N20/N21 VIIRS Polar Winds (VPW) (w/ BUFR),
SNPP/N20/N21 OMPS SO2 Corrected Version 8 Total Ozone (V8TOs), SNPP/N20/N21 OMPS Nadir
Profiler (NP) (w/ BUFR), MetOp-B/C/SNPP/N20/N21 Snowfall Rate (SFR), and blended Soil Moisture
Operational Product System (SMOPS) products are being migrated from on-prem systems to NCCF.
The test products are available on PDA I&T now. Users can start subscribing to these data products
from PDA I&T. The test data product short names are appended with “_TEST”.
All of the new products will be released from PDA OPS on March 6, 2024. The on-prem SAR Winds
and SMOPS will be retired 60 days after they are in operation.
SNPP/N20/N21 CrIS RDR/SDR will pass through NCCF to PDA.
NOAA-21 SFR product is a beta version.
