Fwd: FV3GFS feedback

EMC's Model Evaluation Group

The Model Evaluation Group (MEG) community is established to interact with the user community on issues related to the forecast systems of NCEP's Environmental Modeling Center (EMC). It is used to discuss overall model performance and provide feedback on operational and parallel versions of the models which comprise the production suite.

Fwd: FV3GFS feedback

Youngling Posts: 1 Join Date: 9/24/12 Recent Posts

SR SOOs and DOHs,

In an effort to get as much feedback as possible on the new FV3-GFS system (now running in parallel), EMC has set up a special email address as a simple way to provide feedback. The attachment (single slide) has more details. You can basically send an email to fv3gfs-feedback.vlab@noaa.gov , and the content of your email will automagically appear as a post in the VLab FV3GFS Evaluation Forum. EMC also recommends that users either subscribe to the forum OR identify themselves in the text of the email message.

Here is a link to the web page, with plenty of links to FV3-GFS data, GFS and FV3-GFS comparison sites, and general FV3 information:

hello SSD chiefs-

I've attached a slide from a MEG presentation last week in which we announced the creation of a mailing list to post FV3GFS feedback directly into the VLab forum. Can you please share this slide with your SOOs or whomever you think would want this information? We want to hear feedback from the field, especially if any oddities in the FV3 output are observed, and this mailing list makes it easy to do so. It also serves as a way for us to send relevant FV3GFS announcements, so we encourage users to subscribe to the forum: https://vlab.noaa.gov/web/emc-model-evaluation-group/discussions-forums-/-/message_boards/category/3251785

Thank you, and let me know if you have any questions.

-Geoff
