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)

* 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
    1. Surface and Ship data (ds464.0)
    2. 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
