Real-Time Antarctic MM5 Mesoscale Model Forecasts from the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
In support of flight operations and forecasters in Antarctica, we (NCAR MMM) are running the MM5 on a set of 90-km, 30-km, 10-km, and 3.3-km grids over Antarctica twice daily.
Description
Under sponsorship from NSF Office of Polar Programs and in collaboration with the Byrd Polar Research Center of Ohio State University these experimental real-time forecasts have been tailored to the needs of the forecasters at McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
AMPS employs the Polar MM5, a version of the MM5 (currently V3.4) developed at the Byrd Polar Research Center. The Polar MM5 contains a number of modifications to better represent processes in the polar troposphere. We also continue to run global 5-day MM5 forecasts that cover Antarctica.

Product animations are available, but may be large. All forecasts are produced on a 32-processor Compaq ES40 cluster located at NCAR. AMPS and its hardware are supported by the National Science Foundation.
