NEW GOES-19 Data!! On April 4, 2025 at 1500 UTC, the GOES-19 satellite will be declared the Operational GOES-East satellite. All products and services, including NODD, for GOES-East will transition to GOES-19 data at that time. GOES-19 will operate out of the GOES-East location of 75.2°W starting on April 1, 2025 and through the operational transition. Until the transition time and during the final stretch of Post Launch Product Testing (PLPT), GOES-19 products are considered non-operational regardless of their validation maturity level. Shortly following the transition of GOES-19 to GOES-East, all data distri...

The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional de Argentina (SMN-Arg), the National Meteorological Service of Argentina, shares its deterministic forecasts generated with WRF 4.0 (Weather and Research Forecasting) initialized at 00 and 12 UTC every day.

This forecast includes some key hourly surface variables –2 m temperature, 2 m relative humidity, 10 m wind magnitude and direction, and precipitation–, along with other daily variables, minimum and maximum temperature.

The forecast covers Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and parts of Bolivia and Brazil in a Lambert conformal projection, with 4 km...

Ocean Radar - Capricorn bunker group site - Wind - Delayed mode

meteorologicalocean currentsoceans

The Capricorn Bunker Group site is in the southern region of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park World Heritage Area (GBR). The HF ocean radar coverage is from the coast to beyond the edge of the continental shelf. This is an area where the East Australian Current (EAC) meanders as it moves south from the Swain Reefs and loses touch with the western land boundary. The area is dynamic with warm EAC water recirculating and being wind-driven northwards along the coast inside the GBR lagoon. The recirculating warm water contrasts with the upwelling tendency of the parts of the EAC which contin...

Ocean Radar - Coffs Harbour site - Wind - Delayed mode

meteorologicalocean currentsoceans

The Coffs Harbour (COF) HF ocean radar site is located near the point at which the East Australian Current (EAC) begins to separate from the coast. Here the EAC is at its narrowest and swiftest: to the north it is forming from the westwards subtropical jet, and to the south it forms eddies and eventually the warm water moves eastwards across the Tasman Sea, forming a front with the cold water of the Southern Ocean. The connection between coastal and continental shelf waters is fundamental to the understanding of the anthropogenic impact on the coastal ocean and the role of the ocean in mitig...

Ocean Radar - Rottnest shelf site - Wind - Delayed mode

meteorologicalocean currentsoceans

The Rottnest Shelf (ROT) HF ocean radar system covers an area which includes Rottnest Island and the Perth Canyon to the north-west. The Perth Canyon has the highest marine biodiversity in the region with whale and fish aggregations, and high primary and secondary productions which are controlled by the physical oceanographic processes. Combined with the dynamics of the Perth Canyon is the dominant Leeuwin Current which produces a wake on the leeward side of Rottnest Island. This is a topographically induced up-welling and associated primary and secondary productivity. The region is influ...

Ocean Radar - South Australian gulfs site - Wind - Delayed mode

meteorologicalocean currentsoceans

The South Australia Gulfs (SAG) HF ocean radar system covers the area of about 40,000 square kilometres bounded by Kangaroo Island to the east and the Eyre Peninsula to the north. This is a dynamic region where warm water from the remnants of the Leeuwin current is moving from the west, and water with varying density is exchanging with Spencer Gulf and the Gulf of St Vincent. Upwelling events occur from the deep ocean on the south side of the observation area. This is a key ocean area for aquaculture and fishing, and is a major shipping thoroughfare. The data from this HF ocean radar syste...

Ships of Opportunity - Biogeochemical sensors - Delayed mode

atmospherechemistrymeteorologicaloceans

The IMOS Ship of Opportunity Underway CO2 Measurements group is a research and data collection project working within the IMOS Ship of Opportunity Multi-Disciplinary Underway Network sub-facility. The CO2 group sample critical regions of the Southern Ocean and the Australian shelf waters have a major impact on CO2 uptake by the ocean. These are regions where biogeochemical cycling is predicted to be particularly sensitive to a changing climate. The pCO2 Underway System measures the fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2) along with other variables such as sea surface salinity (SSS) and sea surface t...

AI Weather Prediction (AIWP) Model Reforecasts

environmentalmeteorologicalweather



This is an archive of pure AI-based weather prediction reforecasts produced collaboratively between the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) and the NOAA Global Systems Laboratory (NOAA-GSL).

Currently, FourCastNetv2-small, Pangu-Weather, and GraphCast are included, with more models to come. Each of these models has been initialized with both NOAA GFS (directories with no extension) and ECMWF IFS initial conditions (directories ending in "_IFS"). The datasets are updated with near-real-time data twice per day (00Z and 12Z initializations).

FourCastNetv2-small and Pangu-Weather are available from 10/2020 to present...
