The 36-hour duration backward trajectories originate
at 21 GMT (4 pm EST) today and tomorrow at heights of 10 m, 500 m, 1000 m, and
1500 m above model ground level. The 18-hour duration
forward trajectories originate at 11 UTC (6 am EST) today and tomorrow at
heights of 10 m, 500 m, 1000 m, and 1500 m above model ground level.
Model output from the latest 00, 06, 12 or 18 UTC
NCEP North American Mesoscale (NAM) model
forecast are first used in the trajectory calculation, then, if
necessary for the backward trajectories, short-term (up to 12 hours)
NAM forecasts from previous run(s) are used. Details on
the 40 km NAM gridded data used in these calculations are available
HERE.
The trajectory endpoints are plotted on maps (gif) and displayed in text
files (txt).
