RAP13 fields include 700 mb Wind, Freezing Level, 1000-500 mb Thickness and 500 mb Wind as specified in the SCANRunSiteConfig.xml file.) | | dmw | GOES-R Derived Motion Winds | | ffg | Flash flood guidance metadata (countybased ffg from RFCs) | | ffmp | Flash Flood Monitoring and Prediction data. Raw data inputs: radar, gridded flash flood guidance from River Forecast Centers, highresolution precipitation estimates [HPE] and nowcasts [HPN], QPF from SCAN and gage data from the IHFS [Integrated Hydrologic Forecast System] database. Radar data [with WSR-88D product mnemonics and numbers] needed for FFMP are Digital Hybrid Reflectivity [DHR, 32] and Digital Precipitation Rate [DPR, 176]. The raw GRIB files containing RFC Flash Flood Guidance are identified in the tables in Part 2 of this document as NWS_151 or FFG-XXX, where XXX is an RFC identifier such as TUA, KRF, or ALR. | | fog | Fog Monitor.
