Important Notice: 10.24.2017 |
Decommissioning of the NCEP Charts application. The NCEP Charts web application, which was at the URL https://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/ncep/NCEP, is no longer operational. Images that were accessible through that application can be browsed by category in the NCEI TDS NCEP Charts catalog. |
Important Notice: 10.24.2017 |
Decommissioning of the NOMADS TDS. NCEI plans to decommission the existing NOMADS THREDDS system on or about 1.24.2018. Model data can still be accessed through the NCEI THREDDS server model page. If you have comments on the decommissioning, please contact ncei.orders@noaa.gov |
