The SOO/STRC site is maintained to better serve the science and training needs of the National Weather Service Science Operations Officers, and to reflect the changing direction of the National SOO/STRC Program.

SOO, What's New?

Well, the entire site - "What have you done with my old, outdated, and tired STRC"?!
 

The SOO STRC is finally undergoing some much needed attention, which will hopefully result in a resource that valued by the SOO community.

The old STRC site has been enthusiastically eviscerated from the system, the cathartic response to which was well worth the effort in developing the new site. However, should you really need something from the previous site feel free to contact me.

The SOO STRC data server is undergoing re-vitalization
 

The data archive on the primary STRC server, soostrc.comet.ucar.edu, is being reorganized to better serve the SOO community. When completed, the on-line archive of operational model data in GRIB 2 and BUFR formats will increase with more direct access to the files for local modeling and research.

While the mass data migration is underway, there may be periods when your favorite archived data set is unavailable. But fret not data miner, as your missing nugget shall be returned to the site in the near future.

This process should not impact the real-time data flow. At least that is the plan.
