Gridded Localized Aviation MOS Program

Background and Status

Gridded LAMP (GLMP) is a program which provides gridded analyses of observations and operational LAMP forecasts for aviation forecasting. The output grid aligns with the National Blend of Models (NBM) CONUS grid at 2.5km resolution. The jobs run hourly in the NWS job stream (and every 15 minutes for ceiling height and visibility). Gridded forecast guidance and gridded observations are currently available for the following elements:

  • 2-meter temperature observations
  • 2-meter dewpoint temperature observations
  • Ceiling height observations
  • Visibility observations
  • 2-meter temperature forecast guidance
  • 2-meter dewpoint temperature forecast guidance
  • Ceiling height forecast guidance
  • Visibility forecast guidance
  • Opaque sky cover observations
  • 10-meter wind speed observations
  • 10-meter wind direction observations
  • Opaque sky cover forecast guidance
  • 10-meter wind speed forecast guidance
  • 10-meter wind direction forecast guidance
