High-Resolution NAVGEM Model Output Available from HIWPP

The High Impact Weather Prediction Project (HIWPP) team has announced that output from the experimental, high-resolution NAVGEM model has been added to the HIWPP Open Data Initiative Real-time Data service.

The HIWPP Open Data Initiative is designed to strengthen relationships between public, private, academic, and user communities within the weather enterprise by sharing output from models in advanced stages of development and inviting feedback to model developers from the broader weather enterprise. (You can read about HIWPP's announcement of the Open Data Initiative in this post.)

HIWPP is a collaboration between a dozen or more organizations led by the NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) and the OAR/Office of Weather and Air Quality. Funded as part of the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations, the project aims to improve near term (from "now" to several weeks or months in the future) prediction of dangerous weather events including hurricanes, floods, and blizzards.
