Prior Experience: SPC/NSSL Spring Program 2004

• EMC made special WRF-NMM Runs Beginning in April 2004, EMC ran:

  • 4.5 km version of its WRF-NMM
  • Without calls to parameterized convection
  • Initialized off 12 km Eta (at 40 km resolution)
  • Daily runs to 30 hours from 00z
  • Central/Eastern US domain

• SPC requested that this run be continued as long as possible – and its still running!
