NCEP Model Delay


Recommended Posts

Just an FYI:

NCEP: UNSHCHEDULED POWER OUTAGE AT FAIRMONT...WHERE THE PROD SUPERCOMPUTER IS...HAS NECESSITATED A PROD MACHINE SWITCH TO THE BACKUP SUPERCOMPUTER. EXPECT NCEP MODEL DELAYS OF 60 TO 90 MIN. WE REGRET THE INCONVENIENCE THIS WILL CAUSE. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

That popped up at the start of the 12z GFS Op. run, and it looks like it's been resolved.

It's not 'resolved', they lost power to the facility that hosts one of our two supercomputers (the one in West Virginia). So they had to do an emergency, unplanned computer switch (to the machine that was in backup/development mode) and restart the cycle that was running at the time (expect glitches). As of now, we're basically operating without a backup. Fun day for NCO.

Sorry... I meant that the model delay had been resolved, not the underlying issue of the power outage.

Sounds like a fun day... at least the backup's working :)

At what forecast hour did the restart occur?
