Following an upgrade of the front- and backend services of the catalogue, the catalogue search engine was restructured yesterday and reindexing of datasets initiated. During the evening of November 21 a hardware outage prevented completion of the reindexing process. Due to this, the catalogue is yet not properly populated. This work will continue once hardware issues have been fixed.

Wednesday 21th November, maintenance is planned in the computer halls hosting the services. This will start 12:30 CET and may last for 2.5 hours. During this period services may not be available. In addition the search engine will be rebuilt this day. This may cause interruptions throughout the day.

Information at WMO SYNOP stations with open data access have been extracted from WMO BUFR to NetCDF/CF. This is now available in the catalogue. Information on the data centre hosting the data is correct, but the data is provided by the WMO members, not the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. Work is in progress on how to proper credit the originating provider.

Backend services are updated June 30 and July 1. Interruptions in operation may occur.

An interactive service that can be used to validate NetCDF/CF and ACDD files have been added to the Support section. This is available through https://applicate.met.no/dataset_validation/form.

This site will undergo scheduled maintenance on April 27th. Short interruptions are expected between 9am and 11am CET.

Extraction of information from WMO GTS and ingestion in the data portal is now in process. Information from the synoptic weather stations have been prepared. During ingestion there may be some inconsistencies in how these data are presented. This work will continue through the weekend of March 23-26. Data from radiosondes and ships are also in process, but not that mature yet.

A Failover operation has been scheduled on Thursday February 22 at 12:30 Norwegian time.

It will have a short, but widespread impact on network traffic in Oslo. Expected Maintenance Duration: 30 Minutes
 

In addition, this site will undergo scheduled maintenance on Monday February 26.

Short interruptions in operation may occur during the whole day.
