Meteorological model PMP2 g (2.8 km resolution) — Forecast data real-time
Description
This dataset contains real-time forecast data from the last two PMP runs.
PMP is a forecasting database that is quality controlled by a meteorologist. The database consists of forecast values placed in a grid (field). Each parameter has a value in each grid point and at each specific time. The distance between the grid points is about 2.8 km.
The time resolution of the information in the PMP will be reduced gradually. For the first days there are data for each hour, then data for every three hours, then every six hours, and for the last days in the database the time resolution is 12 hours.
PMP is created by the meteorologist selecting data from a number of forecast models and using methods for post-processing. The final product, the PMP data set, contains forecast data for up to 240 hours.
PMP is updated at least 6 times/day.
This service delivers PMP data for a range of parameters. A description of these can be found at:
https://opendata.smhi.se/apidocs/metfcst/parameters.html
This download service provides files containing all parameters for the entire geographical area and all heights, for the current time step.
In addition, there are PMP maps audited by meteorologists and associated fronts.
The data set replaces “Metheorological model (PMP1.5g) — Real-time forecast data”. The resolution of the model and its parameters are changed.
DELIVERY
