FSL-MAPS  

Definition

  • The Mesoscale Analysis and Prediction System (MAPS) was for a 5000 km by 5000 km area centered around the 48 conterminous states, while the Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS) was for domains of 500 km by 500 km. In the MAPS effort, an isentropic coordinate model is used for four dimensional assimilation and short range forecast. During FY 1990, the basic MAPS system was installed at the National Meteorological Center (NMC) for use by the National Weather Service (NWS). Within FSL, the upper air analysis was run on a three-hour cycle, and was being extended to a one-hour cycle. The LAPS system was being used for high resolution atmospheric diagnosis, and is testing models for very short range prediction. (en)
