The MDR data were then archived in Model Output Statistics (MOS) predictand tape format to be used for thunderstorm prediction. The data were intended for both general and severe thunderstorm prediction using MOS which related the radar data to large-scale predictors from operational numerical models. Other uses of the data included development of improved initial moisture fields in TDL numerical models and verification of convective weather forecasts. The MDR data were archived for a pseudo-grid covering roughly the eastern two-thirds of the United States. This pseudo-grid was a subset of the 47 by 51 (octagonal) polar-stereographic grid that was used for numerical weather output at the time. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset Binary dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral WEATHER STATIONS > WEATHER STATIONS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms WEATHER RADARS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Instruments EARTH SCIENCE > SPECTRAL/ENGINEERING > RADAR > RADAR REFLECTIVITY U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 1973-11-01 1977-09-05 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 1112.862 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d840000/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d840000/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
