Obtaining Data Files from the Original LAPS-MM5 IHOP Forecasts

During the experiment, GRIB data files from both the 12 km and 4 km IHOP domains were written to the FSL /public file system and archived.  Additionally, the raw MM5v3-format initial and lateral boundary condition files were archived.  For FSL users, these data can be found on the Mass Storage System (MSS).  For internal users requiring more direct access, the files are also available on hopper.

 

The model was run every 3 hours out to 12 hours with hourly output each day.  During the entire period, only 5 runs were missed.  The missing runs occurred from 21Z/20 June through 09Z/21 June.
