CONDUIT Decisions

June 2008

 

Please list the products you currently receive and use via CONDUIT: (please provide this information via the Forum or conduitinfo@unidata.ucar.ed)

NCEP would like to propose that the following data streams be considered for removal since they are lower resolution versions of other CONDUIT data streams. Please provide your input if you are not in favor of this:

1. 1.0 degree GFS grids out to 180 hours (NCEP currently provides GFS 0.5 degree datasets to 180 hours)
2. 40 km NAM CONUS (NCEP offering to provide 12 km, 60 levels, 84 hrs at 0,6,12 and 18Z)
3. 2.5 degree MRF (GFS) out to 168 hours  (NCEP currently provides GFS 0.5 degree datasets to 180 hrs)
4. Replace 20, 40, and 80 km RUC with 13 km RUC (NCEP offering to provide the RUC model at 13 km resolution.  Forecast hours are hourly through 12 hours at synoptic times, and hourly through 9 hours at off-synoptic time)

The following are items that could be distributed via CONDUIT if there is interest.  Please look these over and indicate which, if any, you would likely choose to receive if they were made available:

1. Climate Forecast System products
2. Short Range Ensemble Forecast data
3. High Resolution Windows WRF runs (both dynamic cores)
4. Real Time Mesoscale Analyses
5. Hurricane Runs (HWRF/GFDL)
6. Full Domain NAM
7. Experimental (parallel) runs of NCEP operational models
8. Other (please specify)

Please provide input by 30 June 2008.
