Description:

  • summary: Single time dimension: for each forecast time, use GRIB record with smallest offset from reference time
  • 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: NCEP North American Model : AWIPS 212 (R) Regional - CONUS - Double Resolution. Horizontal = 185 by 129 points, resolution 40.63 km; LambertConformal projection.
