2. New Data and Services
NCEP Spectral Statistical Interpolation (SSI) Global Data Assimilation System
(GDAS) model input (sigma) and restart files (Du, 2004), LLNL driving
NCAR model- using NOMADS GDAS as initial conditions.
NCEP/NCAR R1 and R2 Global Reanalysis and AMIP-II
(Kalnay, 1996; Kistler, 2001; Kanamitsu, 2002 )
Climate Data Assimilation System (CDAS) (Kanamitsu, 1995; Ebisuzaki, 1998)
NCEP Regional Special Model (RSM) (Juang, 1997)
NCEP Global Ensembles (Toth, 2002, 2005; Zhu 2002)
NCEP Short Range Ensemble Forecasts (SREF) (Du, 2004)
NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS) coupled climate model (Saha, 2005)

AOR RTMA (Downscaled RUC to 5km)
NWS National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) (Glahn, 2003)

3. The NOMADS Philosophy NOMADS design includes CEOS-Gird
Multiple paths to format independent data access:
Dave-
Mention that NOMADS and collaborators (NCEP/GFDL) continue to support the CEO_Grid activity. (see bottom of circle in figure above).
We need to advance this activity however----with concrete goals and objectives in the coming months. The convergence of Web and Grid services will help here (the “latest” Globus).
This is all I have to say!! Glenn
