Welcome to weather.arsc.edu

This site serves as a repository of information and products related to the ARSC weather modeling initiative. The work presented on this site has been accomplished by Greg Newby (ARSC), Don Morton (ARSC / U. Montana) and numerous others. Many of the graphical products available here are a result of funding by the Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education and Training (COMET).

One of our primary activities is the twice per day run of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) tool on 320 processors of ARSC's Sun Opteron Cluster, midnight. These runs support various research activities, along with operational needs of NOAA's National Weather Service. Each run provides about 90-hours numerical weather forecast over the western Arctic at 18km resolution, the Fairbanks NWS forecast area at 6km, and a small experimental nest centered on Fairbanks at 2km resolution. Please help yourself to the Current Forecast link to your left.

For those interested in raw output data, we archive the native WRF NetCDF output and GRIB output - links are available on the left. Please note that these are raw data files and are huge. Please don't attempt to download them unless you know what you're doing!

For additional information, please contact Greg Newby and/or Don Morton.
