We're working on a project and I'd configured a CONDUIT feed to acquire NAM 218 data. My plan was to kick off processing using a PQACT action when the last of the needed data arrived. Problem: We get the surface fields, which is not sufficient to initialize WRF. Of course, I can go download the data from NCEP (in fact, that's what we're now doing) but I'm wondering: Am I the only one looking for these data? Is there sufficient bandwidth to allow carrying the full NAM 12 km dataset? What's the chances of getting NAM (and, for that matter, RAP) added?
Thanks, Gerry
