<p> NCEP OUTPUT AT INTERNATIONAL CEOP MOLTS SITES</p><p>(As of 01 December 2002)</p><p>NCEP has implemented routine output from the International CEOP MOLTS sites within its operational Global Forecast System (GFS) in two phases thus far to date (17 December 2002), as follows:</p><p>Phase I: (01 July 2002)</p><p>Thirty-six MOLTS sites (and their routine ftp transfer to NCAR) were implemented on 01 July 2002 in the then T170/L42 NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS).</p><p>Temporal Resolution: 3-hourly Forecast Length: 15 days Vertical Resolution*: 42 sigma layers</p><p>*(30 m thick layer 1, 10 layers below 850 hPa, 10 layers above 100 hPa)</p><p>Phase II: (01 December 2002) </p><p>-- added several new MOLTS sites (41 total stations) -- from new higher resolution, T254/L64 Global Model (as of 29 Oct 02)</p><p>Temporal Resolution: 3-hourly Forecast Length: 15 days Vertical Resolution*: 64 sigma layers</p><p>*(20 m thick layer 1, 13 layers below 850 hPa, 24 layers above 100 hPa)</p><p>Following 1) the CEOP Workshop of Sep 2002 (which led to the addition of several more MOLTS sites) and 2) the increase in NCEP global model resolution from T170/L42 to T254/L64 on 29 Oct 2002, NCEP implemented the following 41-site MOLTS station list on 01 Dec 2002:</p><p>(T254/L64) MOLTS MOLTS Global Model Station Station Source Grid-Point Land No. Name Latitude/Longitude Latitude/Longitude Flag</p><p>01 Siberian Tundra 71.620 128.750 71.859 128.906 1 02 Siberian Tiaga 62.250 129.620 62.497 129.844 1 03 Mongolia 45.740 106.260 46.112 106.406 1 04 Tibet 31.370 91.900 31.599 92.344 1 05 Yangtze River 32.000 116.000 32.068 116.250 1 06 Inner Mongolia 44.460 122.120 44.707 122.344 1 07 Southern Japan 24.970 121.180 25.045 121.406 1 08 Himalayas 27.960 86.810 28.322 87.188 1 09 Korean Haenam 34.550 126.570 34.876 127.031 1 10 Korean Peninsula 37.440 127.900 37.685 127.969 1 11 Phraya River 1 17.160 99.870 17.555 100.312 1 12 Northeast Thailand 14.470 102.380 14.746 102.656 1 13 W.
