| Abstract | The Meteorological Development Laboratory (MDL) of NOAA’s National Weather Service is creating a National Digital Guidance Database at a fine resolution to complement the existing National Digital Forecast Database. To help accomplish this goal, MDL is producing a gridded Model Output Statistics (MOS) forecast guidance system. Currently, gridded MOS populates a 5-km grid with elements needed for weather forecast grids covering the contiguous United States. This paper describes the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) to generate and quality control geophysical variables, create a station dictionary including land/water designations for the observing stations, and analyze or troubleshoot problem areas in gridded MOS weather elements. Stations used in traditional MOS development are unevenly distributed, leaving developers searching for additional data to aid in analyzing these values to the aforementioned grid. GIS is integral in supplying the data to move from station-based MOS to gridded MOS. |
