Real-time Data from NCEP

 

 

 

A number of datasets which can be used as input to WPS can now be downloaded directly from the NCAR Research Data Archive (NCAR RDA) web site:

  • You must register with a user name and password to access the data (registration is free).
  • Click on the 'Data Access' tab once on the data set home page.
  • Most of the RDA data is free for all users. A very few are restricted to university users or researchers. Read the individual data set home pages for usage restrictions, if any, that apply to the data set.

Links to HRRR data and Realtime Dataset from NOAA can be found at the bottom of this page.
