Product Name:
Experimental NWS Watches, Warnings, and Advisories using ATOM and CAP XML based Formats
Geographical Scope:
NATIONAL
Description:
Provide NWS watches, warnings and advisories in industry standard formats commonly used to convey headline and alerting information in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) based ATOM and Common Alerting Protocol version 1.1 (CAP) formats. This SDD is a follow on replacement for a similar SDD issued November 18, 2003 for the experimentation of NWS products using RSS and CAP version 1.0. These pages can be accessed at http://www.weatther.gov/alerts-beta/ The CAP 1.0 version (available at http://www.weather.gov/alerts/) will be replaced by the ATOM/CAP 1.1 offerings. Phase out of the CAP 1.0 version is expected to take place from January 2009 to December 2009. The CAP 1.0 version is considered obsolete with the production of the CAP 1.1 products; phase out of these products will allow NWS to free up computer resources. While availability of standard NWS watch, warning, and advisory products reaches 99.9%, current availability of the experimental CAP1.0/XML products is 99.5%, slightly less than the current standard for operational products of this type.
