Abstract

The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) is a real-time numerical weather prediction capability that provides support for the United States Antarctic Program, Antarctic science, and international Antarctic efforts. The data include the output of the atmospheric forecast models used in AMPS in NetCDF format, subsets of this output in GRIB1 format, and files of mostly graphical forecast products derived from the output.
