Data from the 1.5km70lev configuration of the Met Office UKV NWP model - Release 07/2014

Data from the operational NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) output from the Variable resolution UK (UKV) part of the Met Office Unified Model. This latest configuration of the UM model has a high resolution inner domain (1.5 km grid boxes) over the area of forecast interest, separated from a coarser grid (4 km) near the boundaries by a variable resolution transition zone. This variable resolution approach allows the boundaries to be moved further away from the region of interest, reducing unwanted boundary effects on the forecasts. The UKV model is kept close to observations using 3D-Var data assimilation every 3 hours. This archive is currently being populated at the BADC.

Date (Publication): 2010-12-08

Statement: Following data transfer issues between the Met Office and the BADC, the Met Office NWP data updates were suspended on 18th January 2012. A new data transfer route was established and at the same time, CEDA-BADC decided to revamp the entire NWP archive and created a new NWP archive. This new archive is essentially a mirror of a subset of the NWP archive at the Met Office (as extracted from the Met Office Archive Storage System (MASS)).
