Download datasets for MM5 from NCAR
A number of datasets which can use used as input to MM5 can now
be download directly from the NCAR/DSS
web site:
- Only
a limited number of datasets are available online
- The data
is free to all users to download
Available GRIB datasets: (for input to REGRID)
- NCEP GRIB
GDAS (ds082.0)
- NCEP GRIB
GDAS (ds083.0)
- NCEP
Final Analysis (FNL) (ds083.2)
*
- NCEP/NCAR
Reanalysis (ds090.0) *
- AWIP data (ds609.2)
*
- Information
about the use of these and other datasets in MM5 are available
from MM5V3/data
* Recommended datasets
* Dataset may also be used as input for
the WRF model (WPS)
Available observational datasets: (for input
to LITTLE_R)
- Surface and upper-air observational data (in ADP
format) is also available to users
-
Surface and Ship data (ds464.0)
- Upper
Air data (ds353.4)
- Once
you have the ADP data on your machine, you can use the script
adp_to_little-r.csh (inside that latest FETCH
TAR file - after Jan 21, 2004) to convert it to LITTLE_R input
format
- If
you run RAWINS, you can use the ADP data directly
- Information
about the use of these datasets in MM5 are available from MM5V3/data
Thanks to all the NCAR/DSS staff that worked
hard to make this possible for MM5 users |
