New NAM Weather Forecast Data Now Available
This week we’ve added an additional NAM weather forecast to the Planet OS Datahub, which now provides API access to seven North American Mesoscale Forecast System products:
NAM dataset provides a 60-hour forecast of pressure-level fields at 1-hourly and 3-hourly time steps and covers the contiguous United States at a 5 km resolution.
Researchers use NAM as a driver for complex air pollution simulations, but it is also used by public and private meteorologists to guide near-term weather forecasts within the United States. In a hierarchy of weather forecast models, it falls between the global medium range forecast GFS and the rapid refresh model HRRR.
Visit the Planet OS Datahub to access this dataset and over 2,100 variables from the world’s leading Earth Science data publishers. Interested in discussing different datasets and developer tools with researchers, developers and data scientists from around the world?
