Presentation Transcript

  1. Downscaled GFS with Extended Eta (DGEX) • 12 km, 60 level (downscaled locally to 5km using SmartInit scripts) • CONUS at 06 and 18Z, AK at 00 and 12Z • 84-192 h, 6-h frequency • New DGEX grids will be developed and added to production with content to be defined by the ISST. • CONUS DGEX on AWIPS Grid 218. Alaska DGEX on AWIPS Grid 242. • SBN’s TG2 channel to carry DGEX data

  2. Expanded HPC Medium-Range Support • HPC is working to implement the NWS Corporate Board Decision • HPC forecasts at 390 MOS points are available in text format • Also available are HPC forecasts on a 5-km grid using information from ~6000 MOS points and PRISM to add detail to temperatures • Products available now on HPC ftp site: • max/min temperatures • 12-hour PoP • Estimated dates for additional fields • dewpoint - Jun 2004 • sky cover - Aug 2004 • wind direction & speed - Sep 2004 • Problematic fields: weather type, intensity, & character • WFOs can develop smart tools to incorporate local effects • WFOs modify HPC grids at their discretion • WFOs populate the NDFD HPC day 5 minimum temperature forecast valid May 4, 2004

  3. Winter Weather Experiment 3 (2003-2004)Overview of Participants & Activities • Two WFO sectors • Intermountain (IM) - GREEN • Non IM - RED • Total of 77 WFOs • HPC produced WWE graphics • Available via HPC website • WFO-HPC Collaboration • Scheduled ~15-minute call twice daily • Also via 12 Planet

  4. Winter Weather Experiment 3 (2003-2004)WFO feedback implications for next winter Streaming Video Test • HPC internal products for WFOs should include • Visualization of model preferences, trends, and winter-weather-related diagnostics NOT already available at WFOs • Accumulation graphics of S/IP & ZR like previous WWEs but in 24h increments out to 72h • Notification of product availability via 12 Planet • WFO-HPC collaboration should occur primarily in 12 Planet • WFOs prefer to collaborate initially WFO to WFO using HPC products as a reference • HPC-WFO calls should be reserved for when collaboration via 12 Planet is not efficient • Initiated by WFO • HPC testing 5-minute recorded “streaming” video map discussion for internal NWS use • HPC public product issuance deadlines should be changed • To allow more time to prepare internal NWS products and collaborate with WFOs A Proposed 4-panel Public Product
