No, the Unidata-Wisconsin datastream achive is populated with the GOES satellite
image sectors that had been sent in near real-time to Unidata IDD participants.

The UNIWISC archive only has satellite data.

It seems to me that NCDC should have archives of the model data you want/need.
Is this not the case?

Cheers,

Tom
