Forecast chain

The system uses GFS data at 0.25 degrees to initialize WRF 4.1 on nested domains of 27 km, 9 km and 3 km. CALWRF 2.0.2 and CALMET 6.5 then generate the high-resolution diagnostic meteorology.

Dispersion-ready data

CALMET output files can be used with CALPUFF and LAPMOD. WRF output is also processed through MMIF and AERMET to prepare meteorological input for AERMOD.

Custom deployment

The same high-resolution forecast system can be deployed anywhere in the world and queried via API for ground and upper-air points, routes, vertical profiles, 3D trajectories or planar sections.
