Our center management has urged us to shut down computer systems in preparation for this severe weather event. GSFC was closed to non-emergency personnel today (October 29) and may be again tomorrow. The worse part of the storm should pass by our area tomorrow (October 30) morning; we hope that should GSFC conditions allow, we will be able to return to normal CDDIS operations by tomorrow afternoon. I will keep the community posted with updates as they are possible. While the CDDIS is unavailable, users can access one of the other data centers supporting the services: IGS: http://www.igs.org/organization/centers.html ILRS: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/data_and_products/data_centers/index.html IVS: http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/org/components/dc-list.html IDS: http://ids-doris.org/data-products/info.html We regret the problems this outage may cause the user community.
