Requiem Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Alright, so, I think it's worth noting that ensembles, operationals, and different models seem very confused right now. But, good this is that both (for PDX, SEA will likely get something) show offshore flow and moisture sometime in the near future. We just need to get the cold down, is all. EDIT: and GEM is wayyyy colder for the PDX area this run. 2 "Let's mosey!" --Cloud Strife ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Top 5 Snow Events (post 2014): (1.

To me it's just an aside that can be thrown out there as a conversation piece with no real value at all. I wish it wasn't so. Not really. The GEM's overall verification scores have run pretty close to the GFS...and it's been more accurate within a week recently. Definitely not something to bank on at this point, but with all of the issues models are having with this pattern, it can't be discounted either.

Frontal Snowsquall Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 This is just sad. They have better supercomputers. "ECMWF's High Performance Computing Facility (HPCF) is the result of a competitive procurement carried out in 2012 and 2013. This resulted in ECMWF awarding a two-phase service contract to Cray UK Ltd to supply and support this HPCF until mid-2018. The contract was signed on 24 June 2013. In 2015, Cray and ECMWF signed a contract amendment extending the support period to 2020. This allowed Cray and ECMWF to upgrade the main systems in the first half of 2016 with the latest generation of Intel processors and add extra memory and storage. In the second half of 2016, we added a new standalone cluster with 32 Intel Xeon Phi processors to support the work of the Scalability Programme." https://www.ecmwf.int/en/computing/our-facilities/supercomputer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
