Data <br />were available for four different models. A program was written by Tim Barker of the NWS's <br />Scientific Services Division at SLC to extract 77 NGM (Nested Grid Model) and Eta (Greek <br />letter - LFM replacement) model grid points, and 45 AVN (AViatioN) and MRF (Medium <br />Range Forecast) model grid points. These data were converted to ASCII and stored for <br />retrieval by the CNRFC in Sacramento over INTERNET. Dr. Owen Rhea then wrote <br />FORTRAN programs to use a Data General UNIX workstation to read these gridded field <br />data files. <br /> <br />The NGM and Eta model data are available for the initial time and for 6-h periods out to <br />48 h into the future. The 77 grid points selected for the NGM and Eta model data are spaced <br />about 80 km apart in the north-south direction, and 160 km apart in the east-west direction <br /> <br />17 <br />
