Welcome

Welcome to the RTMA/URMA VLab community!

The purpose of this community is to facilitate feedback and discussion on the RTMA/URMA system. 

Meeting notes are available under the Google Drive Folder linked above.

To learn more about our next upgrade, see the asset publication below.

Use the System Overview to learn more about the system in general.

Use the forum to ask questions about the system and join the discussion with other users and the development team. 

Note that there are two forums: one for precipitation issues and one for all other variables.

You can post to the precip issues forum by sending an email to qpe.rtma.urma.feedback.vlab@noaa.gov.  For all other issues, you can post by sending an email to rtma.feedback.vlab@noaa.gov.  Please note that you must have a user account to post to the forum.  If you do not have an account, please contact matthew.t.morris@noaa.gov.

We recently added the ability for NWS Regional or WFO personnel to request that stations be removed from the analysis.  To access this, click on the "Station Reject Lists and Requests" tab.

There has been recent interest in knowing exact station locations, especially those of METAR sites.  Our METAR information table is under the "METAR Location Info" tab.

Users may also be interested in the National Blend of Models VLab community.

We appreciate any feedback on how this page or community could be improved.  You can submit such feedback via the above email handle or forum.

I've been looking through various RTMA/URMA/PCPANL links, and I see 1-, 3-, 6, and 24-hr amounts.  I was looking for 12-hr rainfall analysis amounts to use to verify against 12-hr Prob of Precip (PoP12) forecasts, ending at 00 and 12 UTC.  I know one can do math on the subsets to arrive at a 12-hr amount, but I wondered a) if it might be possible to produce such output, or b) it might already exist somewhere to save me a step?

Hi Jack,

We do not currently output 12-hr rainfall analysis amounts, so you would need to generate the 12-hr amounts from the existing 1-hr and 6-hr output.  We could consider adding the 12-hr amounts at a future date, but there are currently no concrete plans for providing this output.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks Matt for confirming 12-hr rainfall analysis are presently not out there, and not being planned.
