All, At TVA, we would like to utilize the entire NDFD data set (7 days forecasts for some parameters) to drive various models we are using for hydrothermal forecasting purposes. We’ve realized however, that only partial forecasts exist
on the CONDUIT data stream based on the status files uploaded by the NOAA data flow team. Since products on this stream are consumer driven, we’d like to see if others would benefit from the availability of the entire NDFD data set (out to 7 days in some
cases). Given enough interest from other data customers, we were told that NOAA could potentially serve the rest of the data. We believe that releasing the entire NDFD dataset via this mechanism would… - allow greater use for these detailed forecasts across other federal/private agencies - follow the “Open Government” mantra that is becoming pervasive throughout the scientific community - provide another reliable, popular avenue (LDM) for self-service
- allow the consumers to decide what part of the entire forecast they want or don’t want. In the current paradigm, consumers are forced to accept a partial forecast despite official forecasts going out much longer. Thanks. |
