Transition to WCOSS2 All - Home - RTMA/URMA Discussion Group

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.

Transition to WCOSS2

Youngling Posts: 158 Join Date: 12/6/17 Recent Posts

Hi All:

Beginning at 12Z today, the NCEP production suite, including RTMA/URMA/RTMA-RU, is running operationally on a new supercomputer (WCOSS2).

As a reminder, we have several tools available for monitoring the operational RTMA suite:

KML observation files can be found at: https://ftp.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/rtma2/for_eval/ob_files/
URMA time series can be found at: https://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/rtma/prod_ts/urma/rtma.html

However, the RTMA, URMA, and RTMA-RU graphics linked from the above time series page have not yet been established on WCOSS2. These graphics will be restored as resources allow. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding RTMA/URMA/RTMA-RU.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi All:

Following the transition of the NCEP production suite, including RTMA/URMA/RTMA-RU, to WCOSS2 on June 28th, it was discovered that observations were not being used to generate the URMA minT and maxT analyses due to a misspecified directory. In other words, the analyses were derived using only the min (or max) of the hourly analysis and background fields. This issue was corrected beginning with the maxT analysis valid July 18th and the minT analysis valid July 19th. We apologize for the initial oversight.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

Thanks,
Matt
