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?
