NOTES 1. THE FREQUENCIES CORRESPOND TO EACH MODEL RUN. ALASKA-REGION DGEX GRIDS
WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TWICE PER DAYIN ASSOCIATION WITH THE 00 & 12UTC NCEP MODEL
CYCLES.
2. THE GEOPOTENTIAL HEIGHT HEADERS CORRESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING FIVE LEVELS WITH THE ASSOCIATED WMO HEADER ii VALUES IN PARENTHESES- 1000MB[99] 850MB[85] 700MB[70] 500MB[50] AND 250MB[25].3. THESE HEADERS CORRESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING TEN LEVELS WITH THE ASSOCIATED WMO HEADER ii VALUES IN PARENTHESES:
2 METER AGL[98] 0-30MB AGL[86] 30-60MB AGL[86] 60-90MB AGL[86] 90-120MB AGL[86] 120-150MB AGL[86] 150-180MB AGL[86] 850MB[85] 700MB[70] AND 500MB[50].4. THESE HEADERS CORRESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING ELEVEN LEVELS WITH THE ASSOCIATED WMO HEADER ii VALUES IN PARENTHESES-
10 METER AGL[98] 0-30MB AGL[86] 30-60MB AGL[86] 60-90MB AGL[86] 90-120MB AGL[86] 120-150MB AGL[86] 150-180MB AGL[86] 850MB[85] 700MB[70] 500MB[50] AND 250MB[25].5. THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE PARAMETERS ARE VALID AT 2 METER AGL COVERING THE SIX HOUR PERIOD LEADING UP TO THE GRID'S VALID TIME.
6. FOR SURFACE PRESSURE ##=98 - FOR MSLP [STANDARD/NORMAL/NCEP REDUCTION] ##=89.7. THE CCCC FIELD OF THE WMO HEADER [I.E. CHARACTERS 8-11] IS KWBD FOR ALL GRIDS IN THIS RC.
8. HEADERS OF THE FORM M??Z.. KWBD CORRESPOND TO 126 138 150 162174 AND 186 HOURS. THUS THESE HEADERS HAVE A HIGHER FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE THAN THE OTHER HEADERS.
9. OS&T/SEC ESTIMATES THAT THE COMPLETE OCONUS DGEX GRID SET WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 54 MBYTES [IN SIZE] PER MODEL RUN. THIS ESTIMATE WAS BASED ON THE KNOWN SIZES OF THE 185 [CONUS] GRID AND THE RELATIVE SIZE OF THE 186 [OCONUS] GRIDS.
THUS FOR THE TWO DAILY RUNS [I.E. 00 & 12 UTC] THE TOTAL DAILY VOLUME WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 108 MBYTES.
