Site Update
September 14, 2008...
HHRecon.com now mirrors our model system too. Thanks to the owner of that site for helping us out. Make sure you remember the address to that site in case ours ever fails.

I'm currently side tracked on a project for someone. Not sure when I will get back to the 2009 model system.
August 29, 2008...
I still don't know what caused the site to go down on August 27 and 28th. Bandwidth on the server I was on peaked to a point where my host thought it was a DOS attack on one of the sites on the server. They never did pinpoint, at least to me, if they ever determined the cause, yet they did eventually get the server operational again. Our site has experienced, increasingly over the past few days, the most traffic ever. August 26th was the highest, followed by Augist 28th being even higher, even though the site was still down for part of that day too. Little data exists on statistics for August 27th because the site was mostly non functional, though it was still the 7th busiest day of the month.
Not having the NHC model data available for a bit was a disaster. To prevent that problem in the future, or at least seriously reduce the opportunity for such problems, I signed up with a second web hosting company. So now, if our main site goes down, our backup site will provide the important model data. Our model backup site is http://tropicalglobe.com/
With the outage, I also discovered that our recon system is also in high demand. It would have been too much to get another host to backup that site too, but luckily someone has generously mirrored our entire recon system at http://hhrecon.com/. Yesterday I set up all the files needed for that mirror to be completely indepenedent of our site. That site does not look to our site for data, it processes all the data just like our site does, by downloading, decoding, and organizing the data into the live recon products. The site also contains our manual recon decoder.
Hopefully with the new model backup site and recon mirror site we will have less problems in the future. If you run a major website, contact us if you are interested in mirroring our model or recon data. With several mirrors, it makes it all the more likely that at least one will be available to get the data.

Work on the new model system for 2009 continues. The examples below, and the alpha preview for Fay, will still be redesigned quite a bit before release next year. I found a problem with combining all the data into one file for Google Earth. I will likely create separate network links for the data that will be available, such as for the NHC models, NHC advisory data, and ATCF track. There is a lot of work left to do. I am revisiting the NHC error cone I tried a year or two ago too. I might finally have a way to do it in an acceptable enough way.

Here is a sneak peak of some examples of the 2009 model system: 92L (August 14, 2008 6Z) | 92L (August 14, 2008 0Z)
