Modeling

  • Model Info:
    • Initialization -
  • Matt Clegg's WRF Model Page
    • Current run of the WRF model
  • Data from the WRF model runs are being documented on the ___ server.

Forecasting

    • High resolution 1-km visible satellite imagery and regional radar mosaic with animation capabilities from College of DuPage
    • Generate contour plots using the forecast models (RUC, GFS, NAM, etc…) from College of DuPage
    • Generate point soundings using the forecast models (RUC, GFS, NAM, etc…) for any location which produces a METAR
    • Extended (60-hr) GFS plots from UNYSIS with multi-panel capabilities
    • Mesoanalysis Graphics are particularly helpful when SPC has us in a risk area
    • Non-operational reflectivity product from the WRF model
