NCEP distributes output from the High Resolution Window(HIRESW) model via NOAAPORT and the SBN with the following WMO headers:
T1T2A1A2ii
CCCC
where:
CCCC = KWBS
T1 = L or M (GRIB2 Products), depending on forecast time
| T2= |
A - total cloud |
A - dew point temperature |
|
E - total precipitation |
F - precipitable water |
|
H - height |
K - surface visibility |
|
M - categorical precipitation types (snow, ice pellets, freezing rain and rain) |
O - vertical velocity |
|
P - mean sea level pressure reduce to MSL |
P - surface pressure |
|
Q - best 4 layers lifted index |
Q- parcel lifted index |
|
R - relative Humidity |
S - surface water equivalent accumulated snow depth |
|
T - temperature |
U - U component of wind |
|
V - V component of wind |
W - CAPE |
|
X - surface lifted index |
Y - CIN |
|
Z - mean sea level pressure (ETA Model reduction) |
Z - storm relative helicity |
|
T - potential temperature |
Z - 1 hybrid level simulated reflectivity |
|
Z - 1000 m level simulated reflectivity |
Z - 4000 m level simulated reflectivity |
|
Z - composite simulated reflectivity |
Z - horizontal moisture divergence |
| A1 = |
A - 5 km Eastern US |
|
B - 5 km Western US |
|
C - 5 km Alaska |
|
D - 5 km Pacific Hawaii |
|
E - 5 km Puerto Rico |
|
F - 5 km Guam |
