I was wondering this past weekend why I couldn't get my profiler scripts to work for GR3. I just figured there was a problem at NCAR/UCAR:
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1 2008 ALL NWS WIND PROFILER PRODUCTS WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 WEEKS.
THE SUSPENSION IN AVAILABILITY OF WIND PROFILER DATA IS
NECESSARY BECAUSE OF RECENTLY INDENTIFIED IT SECURITY
THREATS. THE WIND PROFILER NETWORK CURRENTLY OPERATES ON OBSOLETE EQUIPMENT THAT CAN NOT SUPPORT NECESSARY IT SECURITY METHODS. INTERCONNECTION TO MAJOR NWS SYSTEMS EXTENDS THE VULNERABILITY TO OTHER NWS IT SYSTEMS.
There's no good time for this kind of data loss but I guess better now than the middle of April or May!!
