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.

RTMA (Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis) è l'analisi oraria di superficie quasi in tempo reale di NOAA/NCEP. È progettata per fornire la migliore stima disponibile delle condizioni attuali circa 30-45 minuti dopo l'orario di validità .
Usa un sistema di assimilazione variazionale bidimensionale (2D-Var) che combina un campo di partenza del modello a breve termine con osservazioni di superficie, reti mesonet, boe, navi e dati derivati da radar.
L'analisi viene generata su griglie NDFD, inclusa la griglia Lambert CONUS da 2.5 km, più domini per Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico e Guam. I campi tipici includono temperatura a 2 m, punto di rugiada, vento a 10 m, direzione e raffiche, pressione superficiale, visibilità , base delle nubi e precipitazione.
RTMA aiuta a mantenere un quadro operativo ad alta risoluzione dove le osservazioni sono sparse: acque costiere, terreno complesso o zone con cambiamenti locali rapidi.
Poiché RTMA privilegia la rapidità , non include osservazioni arrivate tardi. Per un'analisi di riferimento più completa usa URMA, che riesegue RTMA circa sei ore dopo con più dati disponibili.
