As data become available in real time, the RTVS accesses observations and model grids, interpolates the model data to the observation locations, and saves the information necessary for statistical computations. Indeed, long-term studies will provide greater accuracy and more versatility for statistical verification analysis. The RTVS, for example, allows its users to select the verification periods and statistical analyses desired, including daily, weekly, and monthly accumulations of statistical parameters. Implementation of the RTVS for the verification of model-based, gridded forecasts of aircraft icing potential. MPPs offer a less costly alternative to traditional computers for the fast, efficient production of numerical weather prediction grids.
Source codes written using SMS are fully portable, and so are the data files.
Since SMS is implemented as a layered set of routines, machine-dependent optimizations are possible and invisible to the user. A Web page describing the components and ports of the Scalable Modeling System. Finally, the HPCS continued the process of parallelizing FSL and NCEP model codes. Completion of an SMS user manual and tutorial. Parallelize the MM5 model.
