Keep clicking, e.g.  pcpurma.20220511, you will see individual files. 

But this site only saves real-time data not historical data.

Jacob,

Thank you, I was wondering about URMA earlier. I see https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/urma/prod/ with the recent URMA data, 
but could you point us at where we can get the full timeseries? I don't immediately see a link.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Anil,

I am not sure why the files are empty, they should not be. Our RTMA precipitation analysis lead (Jun Du, cc'd) looked in our internal tape archive and found that the files there are okay. Unfortunately we are not resourced to serve those data off the internal archive. However you could consider using the Stage IV precipitation analysis instead: https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/21.087

This won't be the exact same data that populates the RTMA precipitation analysis (it'll be higher quality - see RTMA Documentation here for information on the QPE), but may suit your needs.

Hello Dr Carley,


I was looking at s3 bucket you have shared https://noaa-rtma-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html .


From January 2019 to August 2021, precipitation files are empty(0KB size).

Example https://noaa-rtma-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/rtma2p5.20210801/rtma2p5.2021080100.pcp.184.grb2


Is there no data before September 2021?


Regards

Anil
