EMERGENCY MANAGERS WEATHER INFORMATION NETWORK /EMWIN/ NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE /NWS/ CUSTOMERS... WAFS USERS... GTS USERS... NWS FAX CHART USERS FROM RTH WASHINGTON DATA MANAGEMENT CHANGE NOTICE NO 10990 EFFECTIVE DATE FEBRUARY 26 2008 [10990] ON THE ABOVE EFFECTIVE DATE THE FOLLOWING GLOBAL FORECAST SYSTEM [GFS]-BASED GRIDDED MODEL OUTPUT STATISTICS [MOS] GUIDANCE FOR ALASKA WILL BE ADDED TO THE SBN/NOAAPORT DATASTREAM. THE PRODUCTS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR TESTING ON DECEMBER 4 2007. REBECCA COSGROVE [301] 713-0023 EXTENSION 124 IS THE COGNIZANT TECHNICAL INDIVIDUAL. ANTHONY ROBINSON [301] 713-1373 EXTENSION 165 IS THE DRG FOCAL POINT FOR THIS ITEM. THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS WILL BE ADDED TO THE SBN/NOAAPORT DATASTREAM: WMO HEADER ----------- LBRxxx KWBQ LCRxxx KWBQ LDRxxx KWBQ LERxxx KWBQ LFRxxx KWBQ LGRxxx KWBQ LHRxxx KWBQ LJRxxx KWBQ LRRxxx KWBQ LURxxx KWBQ LXRxxx KWBQ LYRxxx KWBQPLEASE SEE INFORMATION BELOW FOR COMPLETE HEADER AND PRODUCT SIZE/PROJECTION INFORMAITON:
*WMO Headings for Gridded MOS Products* WMO headings have the format of T_1 T_2 A_1 A_2 ii CCCC 1. The CCCC for all gridded MOS product WMO headings is *KWBQ*. 2. The T_1 for all gridded MOS products based on the global model is *L*.3. The T_2 represents the weather element type designator. The following values are used for a T_1 = *L*. When feasible, these values match those used for the NDFD WMO headers.
Values for T_2 are: A = sky cover B = wind direction at sensor height (nominally, 10 m) C = wind speed at sensor height (nominally, 10 m) D = probability of precipitation (12 h) E = temperature at sensor height (nominally, 2 m) F = dewpoint temperature at sensor height (nominally, 2 m) G = daytime maximum temperature at sensor height (nominally, 2 m) H = nighttime minimum temperature at sensor height (nominally, 2 m) I = quantitative precipitation (6 h) J = thunderstorms (6 h) K = severe weather (6 h) L = precipitation type M = precipitation characteristics N = precipitation occurrence O = obstruction to vision P = visibility Q = ceiling height R = relative humidity S = snowfall amount (24 h) T = apparent temperature U = probability of precipitation (6 h) V = quantitative precipitation (12 h) W = wind gusts X = thunderstorms (12 h) Y = thunderstorms (3 h) Z = unassigned4. The A_1 designates the geographical area. The following designators follow the conventions established in the NDFD WMO headers.
A = Puerto Rico *R = Alaska* S = Hawaii T = Guam U = CONUS5. The A_2 and ii follow the convention established in the NDFD. These three characters together represent the day and hour (UTC) for which the product is valid. The following convention for A_2 and ii is used for the gridded MOS products:
A = Day 0; ii = hour (0-23) B = Day 1; ii = hour (0-23) C = Day 2; ii = hour (0-23) D = Day 3; ii = hour (0-23) E = Day 4; ii = hour (0-23) F = Day 5; ii = hour (0-23) G = Day 6; ii = hour (0-23) H = Day 7; ii = hour (0-23) I = Day 8; ii = hour (0-23) J = Day 9; ii = hour (0-23) *****Table 1.* WMO headers and product sizes for Alaska gridded MOS products. The headers shown are for the elements we will begin disseminating on March 4, 2008. Information for the other elements will be added as they become available.
