Description:

  • summary: Single time dimension: for each forecast time, use GRIB record with smallest offset from reference time
  • rights: Freely available
  • processing_level: Transmitted through Unidata Internet Data Distribution.
  • processing_level: Read by CDM Grib Collection.
  • summary: NCEP Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model (NMM) and Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) analysis, running in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) infrastructure.
  • summary: NCEP North American Model: AWIPS 242 (S) Grid over Alaska. Model runs are made at 0, 6, 12, 18Z with analysis and forecasts every 3 hours out to 84 hours (3.5 days). Horizontal = 553 by 425 points, resolution 11.25 km, Polar Stereographic projection. Vertical = 1000 to 100 hPa pressure levels.
