AWIPS Users,
As of June 16, 2020 NCEP changed the Vertical Velocity and Total
Precipitation parameters in the GFS FV3 suite that come over NOAAPort. At
Unidata we've made configuration changes to our EDEX system to ingest the
correct parameters and display them in the CAVE menu. The GFS parameter
changes are:
-
GFS Vertical Vorticity parameter changed from VVEL (pascals/s) to DZDT
(m/s)
-
GFS Precip Accumulations changed from hourly/3-hourly/6-hourly
accumulation to total accumulation over the forecast period
CAVE users who connect to the Unidata cloud EDEX, will only need to remove
caveData in their home directory and restart CAVE.
EDEX users will just have to run a script and restart EDEX:
