GRIB Model

NAM Alaska - North American Mesoscale Forecast System


Provider:National Centers for Environmental Prediction, NOAA (USA)
Model scope:Alaska
Update frequency:every 6 hours
Resolution:1.6nm, 3.0km
Model duration:19 forecasts starting at 0 hr, ending at 2 days 12 hrs
Parameters:pressure, wind, wind gust, rain, cloud, simulated radar, visibility
GRIB model date:Sat Dec 7 00:00:00 2024 UTC
Download date:Sat Dec 7 02:33:22 2024 UTC
Download delay:2hr 33min

Note: the Download delay is the amount of time required for the GRIB model to compute its forecast and then for the LuckGrib cluster to download the data and make it available. The LuckGrib delay is generally less than 10 minutes, the remainder of the delay is the model compute time.

Description

NAM Alaska is a high resolution nest, that runs within the larger NAM suite of models. NAM is a mesoscale model, which means that the numerical analysis is able to model land, and other features, at a higher resolution than in a global model, leading to improved forecast accuracy.
