Re: [conduit] NAM and RAP data (for model initiation)

Greetings, Becky -- We would be interested in the full NAM 12km dataset (especially temperature
and moisture) being added to CONDUIT.  

Thank you for your consideration!

Sincerely,

Jim

Thanks for getting back to me. We are interested in the 12 km NAM and 13 km (130 grid) RAP data. If that's possible, it'd be a help. When I first asked on the LDM list, there was at least one other researcher interested in higher resolution NAM and RAP. Somehow, I don't think I'd be the only user.

Appreciate the help, and I fully understand about the delays for new systems and schedules.

Regards,

Gerry

Gerry,
I apologize for my delayed response.  
Right now we've got a limit on adding new data to CONDUIT until we upgrade our system here at NCEP.  We're in the process of that upgrade right now.  I'll submit your request for additional NAM 12km fields to the User Committee meeting on the 17th for consideration after the upgrade.  If others in the group would like to see this data, I encourage you to chime in and voice your desire for this as well.

For the RAP, we do have 20km and 40km grids for the CONUS available in CONDUIT.  Is there additional RAP data you are interested in?

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
