Real-time ARPS Model Output via FTP
|
|
ARPS output in a variety of formats is provided in real-time as the run progresses.
The region, run type (forecast or analysis) and run time can be identified
from the directory and file name. For instance, fcst-spmeso
is
a forecast on the Southern Plains MESOscale grid.
An example of a complete path is
fcst-spmeso/ar2003052012.hdf021600
, the 6 hour
forecast in HDF4 format of a run initialized at 12Z on 20 May 2003 on the
SPMESO grid.
ar2003052012.hdf021600
,
is a 6 hour forecast initialized at 12Z on
20 May 2003. You'll also need the "grid-base" file,
ar2003052012.hdfgrdbas
.
