ARPS code has compilied and ran on the cluster of DEC Alpha's.
|
|
The runs have currently been using data centered around Oklahoma.
|
|
Current work will make the runs use terrain data around the State of N.Y.
|
Easy to set up new datasets: Use the Terrain data Preprocessor.
-
Input the latitude and longitude for Syracuse.
-
Use the multi-pass analysis since the State of N.Y. is highly variable in terrain elevation, i.e. mountains and lakes are present.
-
Terrain data is first smoothed and then interpolated onto the computation mesh.

The North American Terrain data set used with this code is accurate to within 20-30 meters. Higher resolution data is available only for the CONUS. The data is originally obtained by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
