The National SOO/STRC Coordinator maintains a real-time and historical
archive of operational NAM and GFS Model runs in GRIB and BUFR format. The purpose for this archive
is to provide a data source for running the WRF EMS model in case
study model; however, these data may be used for other purposes
as well.
The archive began in April 2000. There is a running 31-day archive
of all operational NAM and GFS runs available in real-time on the SOO/STRC http server in the data directory. Earlier data may be
obtained by placing a request with your SOO/STRC Coordinator.
