  2. NOAA Weather Wire Service (NWWS) Mission: Timely delivery of critical weather informationDescription: NWWS is a satellite data collection and redistribution system operated by the National Weather Service (NWS). NWWS singular purpose is to provide timely meteorological, hydrological, climatological, and geophysical information to state and federal governments, emergency managers, commercial users, media outlets (television, radio, social), and the general public. • NWWS distributes NWWS text products to users/clients over various communication systems • Satellite broadcasts (C-Band and L-Band) • Open Interface and • Nlets (International Justice and Public Safety Network)

  3. NWWS Current Configuration(LEGACY) User Configuration has remained unchanged since 2000. (ref. CSC User’s Manual for the Weather Wire 2000 System)

  4. NWWS Current Configuration(LEGACY) CSC Users/Clients C-band Calypso link CSC Message Processing Center (MPC) backup Dial-up EMWIN OPSnet Monitoring only NWS Weather Forecast Office/River Forecast Center (WFO/RFC) L-band NWS Telecommunication Operation Center (TOC) (Channels 101-105) Family of Services (FOS) NWS Internet Dissemination System (NIDS) weather.gov alerts.weather.gov SBN/NOAAPORT NWS Telecommunication Gateway (NWSTG) C-band

  5. AWIPS NWWS-2 Configuration(NEW) • Modifications; • New NWWS product-only SBN/NOAAPORT Channel 201 • New LNB down converter • Novra S300 satellite receiver or similar (Windows configuration) • New weather data display software (End User Client-EUC) • Expanded NIDS NWWS product distribution • Pidgin Client (Public) • XMPP Console Plugin (Public) • New weather data display software (EUC) • NWS Program Administration Users/Clients backup EMWIN OPSnet NWS Weather Forecast Office/River Forecast Center (WFO/RFC) L-band NWS Telecommunication Operation Center (TOC) • (Channels 101-105) Family of Services (FOS) • (Channel 201) NWS Internet Dissemination System (NIDS) weather.gov alerts.weather.gov SBN/NOAAPORT NWS Telecommunication Gateway (NWSTG) C-band

  6. NWWS 2013-2014 • Both configurations are planned for simultaneous/ operational capability Winter to Fall 2014 NOTE: The “Nlets” system has a private data stream for law enforcement/emergency management networks not open to the general public.

  7. NWWS End-User Client Options

  8. NWWS Message Formats

  10. NWWS Discussion/Open Forum 1. Losing diversity in communications given SCS1 satellite data stream will be lost with the termination of the CSC contract. • single point of failure with loss of redundancy 2. Dish size requirements; some clients have C-band dishes, some with Ku Band.  3. Changes in message formats.  Example; Text vs "wrapping of products in SBN/NOAAPORT hdlcframes“ 4. Open Interface TCP/IP vs XMPP Chat. . • As NWWS proceeds with the transition, your cooperation, collaboration, and input are appreciated. Please feel free to contact NWS for more information about the upcoming change(s) or to provide input on system capabilities and proposed distribution methods and shortfalls of the available options.
