Several RAMMT systems have been upgraded to provide faster processing and more storage.

T. Smith developed a program for displaying data for use on the RSO RAMSDIS

A program for changing the location of the floater sector for use on the RSO RAMSDIS has been developed.  Most components of the Unidata NOAAPORT realtime datafeed are now available for viewing with the data display software from the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) D2D display software on the RAMM Team HP workstations.  The NOAAPORT dataset includes gridded data, model graphics, surface and upper air data.   With assistance from Kevin Schrab of the National Weather Service (NWS) Western Region Headquarters, satellite data from the local CIRA ground station were manually converted to AWIPS format and displayed on the workstation.  A full ingest, including satellite and NIDS radar, will be implemented once new hardware has been received.

Two additional HP workstations have been ordered to support VISIT case study development, real-time AWIPS  capabilities and future AWIPS development efforts.

Several new workstations have been ordered to upgrade staff computers and servers.  The old workstations will be used to upgrade field lab RAMSDIS machines.
