Mar 2002 – Tim Garner - Spaceflight Meteorology Group – Houston – landing simulation case.
The RUC20
appeared to be the only model (including NGM and AVN MOS) that
forecasted a sea
breeze in Florida. The forecast verified quite well. I had to fend off a lot of questions from
some of the NASA users as to whether or not I was sure the winds would
change. The RUC20 was
almost spot on with the 10m winds.
