Description:

  • 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: The FWIS runs are high resolution innermost nests of the new NAM that are placeable within either the 4 km CONUS or 6 km Alaska nests that run each cycle at 00z, 06z, 12z and 18z, with forecasts to 36 hours. If it is placed inside the CONUS, then it runs with a 1.33 km horizontal spacing using a 375x375x60 grid. If it is placed inside Alaska, then it runs with a 1.5 km horizontal spacing using a 333x333x60 grid. FWIS runs on a rotated lat-long grid and uses a B-grid stagger of variables. The vertical coordinate and resolution are identical to NAM and its nests – i.e. sigma-pressure hybrid with a top at 2 mb. For FWIS inside CONUS, all output fields are mapped to a 1.27 km Lambert conic conformal grid whose size varies to encompass as completely as possible the FWIS computational domain. For FWIS inside Alaska, all output fields are mapped to a 1.48825 km polar-stereographic grid whose size varies to encompass as completely as possible the FWIS computational domain.
