RUC13 coming soon

Posted By: Stan Benjamin
Date: 22-February-05 0021Z

After testing since late 2003, the 13km RUC is nearing operational implementation over the next few months. The best current estimate for operational implementation at NCEP is May-June 2005. The 13km RUC includes assimilation of new observations (GPS precipitable water, METAR cloud/visibility, mesonet...), improved model physics and post-processing, and, of course, finer horizontal resolution.

Users will have access to 20km and 40km look-alike grids from RUC13, including the implicit advantage of finer resolution in the RUC13 model and analysis processing.

The RUC web page has been changed to include links to 2 files with RUC13 information. also listed here:
http://ruc.fsl.noaa.gov/ruc13_docs/RUC13ppt.htm
http://ruc.fsl.noaa.gov/ruc13_docs/RUC13-summary.htm .

Please use the RUC forum for questions/comments on the RUC13:
http://ruc.fsl.noaa.gov/forum/eval or write directly to me, if needed: stan.benjamin@noaa.gov

More messages will be coming soon from RUC developers/testers at FSL and NCEP.
