******* Case 006 Announcement ************ New to Case 006, Chicago Flood and Wisconsin Tornadoes (17-19 July 1996), are two laboratory exercises developed by Jim Moore of St Louis University and Ron Przybylinski of the NWS in St Louis. These exercises highlight the important forecasting problems from the case study. To view these labs, see http://www.comet.ucar.edu/resources/cases/c6_18jul96/labs.htm ****************************************** COMET Case 003, Datasets Available on the Web We are pleased to announce that COMET case study 003, Hurricane Erin, is now fully loaded into the CODIAC WWW system. Until now case study 003 has only been available in its entirety on 8mm tape. Now, each dataset in case 003 is available for online searching, browsing, and ordering for FTP download through the CODIAC WWW system. Case 003 contains a comprehensive set of data products portraying Hurricane Erin, which occurred during 1-4 August 1995. This tropical cyclone struck the East and Gulf of Mexico Coasts of the United States, causing six deaths and more than $700 million in damages. The case includes GOES-7 and GOES-8 satellite imagery; radar data from Melbourne, FL (MLB), Mobile, AL (MOB), and Tampa Bay, FL (TBW); surface and upper air observations; NCEP model data; and textual products from the NWS Family Of Services (FOS). For more information on case study 003, see http://www.comet.ucar.edu/resources/cases/c3_03aug95/ To order case study 003 data, go to http://www.joss.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/codiac/projs?COMET_CASE_003 SEARCH, BROWSE, AND FTP ACCESS All of the individual datasets that are part of case 003 are available through the CODIAC system for searching, browsing, and ordering subsets of the data for delivery via FTP. Several datasets, in particular, those archived as GIF images or GEMPAK surface files, can be graphically browsed through the CODIAC web interface. 8MM TAPE STILL AVAILABLE If you want all or most of the data for this case study, we are still making an 8mm tape containing the entire case study available. The tape can also be ordered through the CODIAC system. For details on how to order a tape, see the web page: http://www.joss.ucar.edu/cometCases/faq.html#howGetTape E-MAIL LIST An e-mail list, casestudies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, is available for people interested in case study data. The case studies list has been created to enable the community of case study users to communicate with each other about the case studies. New capabilities and new case studies will be announced on the Case Studies mail list. For information on how to subscribe, go to: http://www.joss.ucar.edu/cometCases/mailList.html QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS If you have any questions or comments about this or other COMET case studies or about how to access the data through CODIAC, please send e-mail to support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx We are always interested in suggestions on how to make the case study data easier to access and more useful for the users. If you have any suggestions or comments, including what cases you would like to see available, again, please send e-mail to support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For general information about this project, visit our home page: http://www.joss.ucar.edu/cometCases/ =============================================================== Ethan Davis Liz Page User Support/Software Engineer Case Study Meteorologist UCAR/Unidata NWS/OM UCAR/COMET edavis@xxxxxxxx epage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
