3D-RTMA Update and/or Preview?

Youngling Posts: 9 Join Date: 4/26/15 Recent Posts

Good morning! I was looking to find some more information on 3D-RTMA. I know the target date is still a ways out, but I saw an 2019 AMS presentation that showed some preliminary data being compared to other analysis systems and was curious if there is any experimental data out for viewing (or when we might start seeing experimental data). Beyond that, it might be nice to see a general update here on the VLAB about how development on 3D-RTMA is going and what we might be able to expect from it (e.g. do we know what fields it will have yet?).

Thanks!

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your interest in learning more about the 3D-RTMA project.  We currently expect the first implementation to occur in FY2024.  I've attached a poster that was presented at last year's NWA Annual Meeting that provided a brief overview of the 3D-RTMA project.  In addition, several talks and posters were presented at the AMS Annual Meeting earlier this year, which may be a good reference (note: the last link is from the 2019 meeting):


Experimental 3D-RTMA fields have been evaluated in research testbeds, namely the Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Forecasting Experiment (HWT-SFE) and Aviation Weather Testbed (AWT).  We expect to be able to advertise experimental 3D-RTMA fields publicly later this year after additional development/testing.

The first implementation of the 3D-RTMA/URMA system will have all of the analysis fields currently available in the 2D system as well as 3D analyses of the basic atmospheric fields (e.g., temperature and wind).  It will also include derived severe weather fields and aviation fields.  More broadly, in the future, we should be able to provide a high-resolution analysis or diagnosed version of any forecast field available from a model such as the HRRR.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the update! This is exactly what I was looking for.
