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.

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
