The Rutgers University Center for Ocean Observing Leadership runs a daily real-time version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF v4.1.2) model, also known as RUWRF. This model runs a parent nest at 9 km resolution out to 120 hours and a child nest at 3 km resolution out to 48 hours. It is run daily following the availability of the 00Z cycle of the Global Forecast System (GFS). Graphics are typically available by 6 AM Eastern local time.
This page displays graphics from the latest RUWRF model run. Full model output for the principal meteorological variables is available in our THREDDS server, linked below for the 9 km and 3 km domains. Validation figures and data are available here.
