SUBJECT: SOLICITING COMMENTS ON PROPOSED REPLACEMENT OF
ETA-BASED MOS PRODUCTS WITH NAM MOS PRODUCTS THROUGH
AUGUST 20 2008
NWS IS PROPOSING TO TERMINATE PRODUCTION OF THE MODEL OUTPUT STATISTICS /MOS/ GUIDANCE FROM THE ETA MODEL. THIS PROPOSED CHANGE IS NECESSARY BECAUSE NWS REPLACED THE ETA MODEL WITH THE NON-HYDROSTATIC MESOSCALE MODEL /NMM/ VERSION OF THE WEATHER RESEARCH FORECAST /WRF/ MODEL IN JUNE 2006. USERS CAN FIND A PREVIOUS PROPOSAL TO TERMINATE ETA MOS GUIDANCE /USE LOWER CASE/: HTTP://WWW.WEATHER.GOV/MDL/SYNOP/WRFEVAL/ETAMOS_TERMINATION.PDF
FEEDBACK INDICATED THAT SUITABLE POST-PROCESSED GUIDANCE DERIVED FROM THE CURRENT NORTH AMERICAN MESOSCALE /NAM/ MODEL IS NECESSARY BEFORE TERMINATING THE ETA MOS. WRF-NMM MOS GUIDANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A REPLACEMENT.
USERS CAN FIND A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THIS PROPOSED REPLACEMENT AND DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF STATISTICAL GUIDANCE AT /USE LOWER CASE LETTERS/:
