Shutdown of servers for IERS Rapid Service/Prediction and Conventions


Dear IERS users,

All of the USNO's public-facing websites will be disconnected from the
Web on 24 October 2019. The outage is expected to last for at least six
months. This will have also impact on the IERS Rapid/Prediction Service
products and the IERS Conventions website.


Please use the following alternative product sites during the shutdown:

ftp://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/products/iers/ or
ftp://ftp.iers.org/products/eop/rapid/ or
https://datacenter.iers.org/eop.php
as a replacement for USNO's Rapid Service/Prediction product servers.

(See also

and
https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/Other_products/IERS_EOPs.html
for more information on the Rapid Service/Prediction products.)


Please use the following alternative IERS Conventions site during the
shutdown:

http://iers-conventions.obspm.fr/
as a replacement for
http://maia.usno.navy.mil/conventions/


We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Kind regards,
IERS Central Bureau
