Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA)

GribStream-Code: rtma

Beschreibung

RTMA (Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis) ist die stündliche Oberflächenanalyse von NOAA/NCEP nahezu in Echtzeit. Sie soll innerhalb von etwa 30 bis 45 Minuten nach der gültigen Zeit die beste verfügbare Schätzung aktueller Wetterbedingungen liefern.

RTMA nutzt ein zweidimensionales Variationsverfahren (2D-Var), das einen kurzfristigen Modellhintergrund mit Oberflächenbeobachtungen, Mesonet-Daten, Bojen, Schiffen und radarabgeleiteten Informationen kombiniert.

Die Analyse wird auf NDFD-Grids erzeugt, einschließlich des Lambert-CONUS-Grids mit 2.5 km, sowie Domains für Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico und Guam. Typische Felder sind 2-m-Temperatur, Taupunkt, 10-m-Wind, Windrichtung, Böen, Oberflächendruck, Sichtweite, Wolkenuntergrenze und Niederschlag.

RTMA ist besonders wertvoll für hochaufgelöstes Lagebild dort, wo Beobachtungen dünn sind: Küstengewässer, komplexes Gelände oder lokale Wetterwechsel mit kurzer Zeitskala.

Weil RTMA niedrige Latenz priorisiert, enthält es keine spät eintreffenden Beobachtungen. Für eine vollständigere Referenzanalyse nutzen Sie URMA, das RTMA etwa sechs Stunden später mit erweitertem Datenbestand neu ausführt.

CEIL –Ceiling Height (m)
1 variant
NOAA GRIB2 Table 4.2-0-3

Ceiling height is the altitude of the lowest cloud base that covers a significant portion of the sky. It is a key aviation and surface-visibility metric.

  • Units: m.

DPT –Dew Point Temperature (K)
1 variant
NOAA GRIB2 Table 4.2-0-0

Dew point temperature is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated. It is a direct measure of moisture content.

  • Units: K.
  • When dew point is close to air temperature, fog or low cloud potential increases.

GUST –Wind Speed (Gust) (m/s)
1 variant
NOAA GRIB2 Table 4.2-0-2

Wind gust is the peak short-duration wind speed. It captures brief, hazardous bursts that can exceed sustained winds.

  • Units: m/s.

HGT –Geopotential Height (gpm)
1 variant
NOAA GRIB2 Table 4.2-0-3

Geopotential height is the altitude of a pressure surface in the atmosphere. It is the primary field for identifying ridges, troughs, and large‑scale flow patterns.

  • Units: gpm.

SPFH –Specific Humidity (kg/kg)
1 variant
NOAA GRIB2 Table 4.2-0-1

Specific humidity is the mass of water vapor per mass of air at the specified level. It is central to moisture transport.

  • Units: kg/kg.
  • Higher values indicate more atmospheric moisture and greater cloud or precip potential.
