Mesoscale NWP over Antarctica: AMPS and support for ground-based astronomy
The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) effort is one by the United States to provide real-time, high-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) over Antarctica. AMPS is a mesoscale modeling system run at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) that generates twice-daily...
