I sought comment from NOAA and the Department of Defense on this and received this reply today from NOAA's spokesperson. They suggest we use the surviving ATMS microwave that degrades significantly at the edges. You can see how much worse off we'd be with Erick last week if we only had ATMS.

This is the redirect notice you get now at the top of the page when you go to climate.gov. I wrote in this NOAA focused post a week or so ago that the primary fed gov't climate site looked to be on the chopping block - now it seems to have come to pass.
