Case Study
NWP Model Loops

 

ETA 6h QPF/UVV LOOP
Loop of 80 km ETA model (initialized at 1200 UTC on the convective day) 6-h Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (QPF) and 700-500 mb mean Upward Vertical Motion (UVV) in the area of interest for the entire convective day (12Z/00h fcst to 12Z/24h fcst).

Images are available at approximately 6 hourly intervals.

Each frame is an individual .gif image and can be displayed individually on the screen by typing the filename (etaqpf_## - where ## is the frame number in the loop).
 
 

ETA CAPE / Shear Composite LOOP
Loop of 80 km ETA model (initialized at 1200 UTC on the convective day) MUCAPE (Best lifted parcel in lowest 180 mb of model atmosphere) and 0-6 km shear (kts) in the area of interest for the entire convective day (12Z/00h fcst to 12Z/24h fcst).

Images are available at approximately 6 hourly intervals.

Each frame is an individual .gif image and can be displayed individually on the screen by typing the filename (etacape_## - where ## is the frame number in the loop).
