The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) of the National Weather Service (NWS) runs a series of computer analyses and forecasts operationally, which use or produce model data. This data set is one of several NCEP sets of model data archived at NCEI. Historical data set DSI-6140 consists of two subgroups of NCEP model data: NGM and MRF for the time period January 1, 1991 through April 15, 1997. Geographic coverage is the 48 contiguous states of the United States of America, plus adjacent waters and southern Canada. Major parameters provided by NGM are ice covered water areas (yes/no), snow covered areas (yes/no), terrain height, mean sea level pressure, convective precipitation, total precipitation, exchange coefficient at surface, upward turbulent flux of sensible heat, upward turbulent flux of water, surface pressure, number of mixed layers next to surface, u component of wind, v component of wind, vertical velocity, specific humidity, and temperature. Parameters provided by MRF are surface temperature, geopotential height, and relative humidity. DSI-6140 is the historical precursor data set to digital data set DSI-6141, NCEP EDAS and GDAS (FNL) Model Data, also archived at NCEI. The analyzed data should provide a better representation of the real atmosphere than observations alone because of limitations in the observations. Some of these limitations are due to measurement error or other instrument problems, and nonuniform spatial and temporal distributions of the observations. At NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory (ARL), the NCEP model data are used for air quality transport and dispersion modeling. historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact notPlanned Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Geopotential Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Radiation > Heat Flux Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Air Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Humidity > Relative Humidity Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Profiles Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Upper Level Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Wind Dynamics > Vertical Wind Velocity/Speed Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Precipitation Amount Earth Science > Land Surface > Topography > Terrain Elevation > Digital Elevation/Terrain Model (DEM) Earth Science > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Snow/Ice > Lake Ice Earth Science > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Snow/Ice > River Ice Earth Science > Climate Indicators > Cryospheric Indicators > Sea Ice Concentration theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
