COAMPS 54km Imagery Subset
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.053

Summary
The COAMPS 54km Imagery (GIF) is one of several model products collected as
part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus PhaseII:
Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project field catalogoperated by the National
Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing Laboratory (NCAR/EOL:
http://catalog.eol.ucar.edu/dycoms). The plots are from the Coupled
Atmospheric Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) model which was run by the
Naval Research Laboratory in a special mode for DYCOMS-II. Three nested grids
were used: a 54km resolution grid, an inner 18km grid, and a small 6km grid
over the DYCOMS-II target area. This data set contains a subset of the imagery
from the 54km grid. Included are surface, 925mb, 850mb, and 500mb imagery for
the analysis time and forecast imagery every three hours to 24 hours. The
model was run at 00 and 12 UTC each day. The products cover the period from
1-31 July 2001 (no imagery available 23 and 25 July) and cover the region from
23-41 N and 111-139 W. All images are in GIF format.
