Description | |
Summary | Data sets generated by the NCEP (National, Centres for Environmnetal Predicitons, Washington) regional atmospheric model. The NCEP model is one of the state-of-the-art atmospheric models available in scientific community. On request, the model can be re-run for a particular domain within the Mediterranean and for specific time periods and horizontal resolutions, as agreed with the user. The resolution may range from 2-30 km. The model output can be provided in binary GRIB and/or ASCII formats. |
