[IGSMAIL-6683] Shutdown of CDDIS due to Hurricane Sandy

[Carey Noll]

Author: Carey Noll/CDDIS

As many may have heard, the U.S. mid-Atlantic and New England states 
are under serious threat from Hurricane Sandy. 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:

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.

Regards,
Carey.
