  1. LAPS Use at WFO Norman Matt Foster U.S. National Weather Service Norman, Oklahoma

  2. Three Primary Uses • Forecaster use in D2D • Situational Awareness Display System (SADS) • WRF Model Initialization

  3. Forecaster Use in D2D • Preferred OA of most forecasters at OUN • Rough estimate of 165 D2D bundles • Heavy use in convective, winter and wildfire

  4. Situational Awareness Display System

  5. Situational Awareness Display System

  6. LAPS on SADS

  7. LAPS on SADS • Use standalone IGC_Process to create images • Animated GIF shows multiple parameters • Capability for user-defined images • Clearly delineate areas of interest • Not absolutely necessary to know the parameter displayed

  8. WRF Model Initialization

  9. WRF Model Initialization • Use “Research” version of LAPS (i.e. recent) • 5 km resolution • Runs external to AWIPS • “Basic” datasets from AWIPS via rsync to LDAD • Ingests 27 WSR-88D radars • Use Level II WSR-88D data from NSSL • RUC13 background • Hot start

  10. Research LAPS Domain
