GFS/MRF GRIB

Post by simonjk »

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if it is still possible to get GRIB data from the MRF/GFS model in WAFs octants format? If so, where from?

If not, can anyone suggest alternatives. I'd ideally like to be able to download parameters rather than the whole global file for one time period.

Cheers,

Hello, Simon!!

Try this site: ftp://weather.noaa.gov/

All the octants are there for the MRF/GFS/AVN they are all the same model. If you know the octants you need for the UK you might just be able to get what you need from here.

Cheers,

Hello again, Simon!

Do you have any links to UKMET office model data?

MRF/GFS data

Post by simonjk »

Hi Pat,

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, the data there only goes to 72 hrs ahead, and I am looking for data to 5 days ahead...any other ideas?

I'll have a look for some UKMO links for you and see what I can find. Can you email me direct at simon@weatherweb.net as it's difficult for me to check the forum sometimes.

Thanks,
Simon
