Looking for model archive


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for model archives for this event. I can find crude versions of the euro but no longer know where to find the other models. Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to have the surface and precip along with the 500h heights and vorticity if they are available. I'd like to show how the tilting if the trough changed for the event on the models and how the tilt was different for the runs that made a big storm along the entire east coast and those that made it a northeast and southeast hit with the DC area in the split. Thanks, Wes

Here's a good NCDC archive which stores all the NAM/GFS/etc model output in grib format. So as long as you're comfortable using a program like GrADS it would be pretty easy to make all the figures yourself (if you don't, and you're interested, just let me know and I could lend a hand with any questions).

It's a good idea to look at...it was such a intricate event...where small changes really made a large difference.

I was hoping there was a site that took less work. I tried looking at the model threads but didn't see that many maps.

Here's there web plotter it takes a little bit of time but is generally easy to use. I think it will show nicely what happened to the troff when a shortwave dugg into the southwest part of it.

I found some NAM and GFS forecasts. Thanks for the help. I ended up doing a quick review of the forecast problems for CWG. It will run tomorrow.

I look forward to reading it. It is surprising that there is no archive of GFS and NAM runs that providesoutput identical to that found on the NCEP models page. A reanalysis page that would allow one to produce such output would be an invaluable resource. Wxcaster provides a quick snapshot for a limited timeframe. NOMADs provides a greater range of data, but is somewhat cumbersome given the number of steps required (and not too infrequent error messages that require one to start over at times). Neither produces output similar to the various features on the NCEP models page.

I know a friend who may be setting up a pretty amazing paysite (around 100,000 images per day, around 200 GFS variables 3-hrly to 192 and 12-hrly to 384, at FULL RESOLUTION [NCEP uses a lower-resolution version for their maps]) for model archives (but only back to the site's inauguration)... what kind of money do you think people would be willing to pay, with the restriction that the images can only be viewed on a mobile device and cannot be posted anywhere? Just want a little input on this... was thinking along the lines of $3/mo or $30/yr, but is that too low?
