Ensemble Forecast System Configuration (homepage)
MPAS forecast configurations:
The 132-h forecasts should complete by 1300 UTC. Graphics will be posted to this site as they are available. Status of the model integration and graphics generation can be found here. Some graphics will likely be missing due to random failures among the enormity of graphics "jobs" we are submitting.
NSF NCAR staff
Craig Schwartz, Dave Ahijevych, Ryan Sobash
Computing
Forecasts are run on NSF NCAR's Derecho supercomputer. Graphics are made on NSF NCAR's Casper cluster. Both systems are maintained by NSF NCAR's Computational and Information Systems Lab (CISL). Thanks to CISL for help facilitating the computing.
