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.

Hello, 
Thanks for contacting us regarding RTMA data. As you noted, The National Weather Service (NWS) NOMADS website does not maintain an archive of model data output. Only 2-10 days of data is retained on depending on the specific model. There are, however, several outside parties who actively support an archive for a number of model datasets.

NCEI: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/weather-climate-models/national-digital-guidance-database (ncei.orders@noaa.gov)
AWS (NOAA Big Data Program) https://registry.opendata.aws/collab/noaa/
UCAR https://data.ucar.edu/en/

The NWS does not support or maintain these external sources, and only certain model resolutions and/or variables may be available. Please reach out to the individual website host for any issues you may encounter.

Thanks, 
Margaret Curtis

To whom it may concern,

Hope everything is going well. I am a researcher from San Diego State University working with Dr. Sam Shen on wind data from NOAA (https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/txt_descriptions/RTMA_doc.shtml). This website only contains data up to 10 days, however as we progress, we are in need of data for a longer period of time (several months, or as long as possible). 

We would like to know whether there is a way to get the data for an extended period of time. Could you give us some feedback on this?

Thanks,
Tingting
