Experimental Stratospheric Forecast Fields derived from T511L60 ECMWF Global Forecast Output
Stephen Eckermann, John McCormack: Code 7646, Naval Research Lab, Washington, DC
Bryan Lawrence, Ag Stephens: Rutherford Appleton Lab, UK.
→ This experimental forecast support for the SOLVE II mission is a scientific collaboration among scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, UK. Primary contact for this work is Steve Eckermann.
 → See here for background details on these ECMWF SOLVE II mission products.
→ to view more conventional stratospheric meteorological variables from ECMWF forecasts, go to the Dörnbrack-Birner EUPLEX ECMWF forecasts page.
Current forecasts and Regions of Interest are tuned to the short DC-8 flight planned for Tuesday, 4 February, to probe a minihole event that is beginning to form near Iceland. Please note new ozone and total ozone forecast animations supplied by John McCormack..
