We don't do much long-term archival here, so a month is about as far back as we 
probably have that data for.

Fortunately, you can access RTMA data from a NOAA AWS bucket that goes back 
years:  https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-rtma/

And just throwing this out there, if your work is more on the past analysis 
side of things and less real-time, you may want to consider the Unrestricted 
Mesoscale Analysis (URMA) data set instead of RTMA.  URMA is essentially the 
same thing but generated six hours later when more data is available.  You can 
think of it as a somewhat more accurate hindsight than RTMA.

Hope this helps,
-Mike
