Hello,
In coordination with Unidata, the Penn State Department of Meteorology is 
pleased to announce the commencement of tier-1 CONDUIT service from Penn 
State to the Unidata Community.  This service will act as the primary 
distribution point for NCEP CONDUIT data for the Eastern United States and 
will replace the current Unidata-maintained top-level relay 
idd.cise-nsf.gov. We are very excited to be able to offer this service and 
have invested considerable effort into configuring Unidata equipment-grant 
funded hardware, Penn State hardware, Penn State networking 
infrastructure, and the provision of staffing resources to produce a 
reliable distribution point for IDD data. Sites that currently feed from 
idd.cise-nsf.gov may switch to the new service, idd.meteo.psu.edu, at any 
time. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at the address 
below.  In the Unidata spirit of collaboration and contribution, we hope 
that this service will benefit many in the community and promote continued 
success in educational and research initiatives.
