Offices are strongly encouraged to register with the Local Applications Database (LAD).

The Space Science and Engineering is not staffed around the clock.  Consequently, data outages and processing issues may result.  These images should be considered non-operational.

Any site which wishes to download this package should be aware that the files and scripts are considered final, but the images pulled from the LDM are non-operational.  Weather Forecast Offices which wish to be test sites for future upgrades and phases should contact Jordan Gerth.
