GPS-PW data still getting into RUC

Some of you are aware about severe NOAA funding problems for the GPS precipitable water observations. Indeed, the network is continuing now with shoestring support and the real-time access to most of the data has been curtailed -- see
http://gpsmet.noaa.gov/jsp/shutdown_warning.jsp for more details.

However, the GPS-PW data has been made available on a continuing basis to NCEP for the operational RUC (and NAM). Its availability can be monitored through an NCEP observation web site at http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/realtime/ruc/t21z/ruc.plt06.gif.

In case you were wondering...
