Descripción

RTMA (Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis) es el análisis horario de superficie de NOAA/NCEP casi en tiempo real. Está diseñado para entregar la mejor estimación disponible de las condiciones actuales dentro de unos 30 a 45 minutos del tiempo válido.

Usa un sistema de asimilación variacional bidimensional (2D-Var) que combina un fondo de modelo de corto plazo con observaciones de superficie, mesonet, boyas, barcos y datos derivados de radar.

El análisis se genera sobre grillas NDFD, incluida la grilla Lambert CONUS de 2.5 km, además de Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico y Guam. Los parámetros típicos incluyen temperatura a 2 m, punto de rocío, viento a 10 m, dirección y ráfaga, presión de superficie, visibilidad, techo de nubes y precipitación.

RTMA ayuda a mantener conciencia situacional de alta resolución donde las observaciones son escasas, por ejemplo aguas costeras, terreno complejo o zonas con cambios locales rápidos.

RTMA prioriza rapidez, por lo que no incorpora observaciones tardías. Para análisis finalizados de mayor calidad, usa URMA, que vuelve a ejecutar RTMA unas seis horas después con datos ampliados.

CEIL Ceiling Height (m)
1 variant

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

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.
