Unger, David A. (David Alan), 1953-

The Automation of Field Operations and Services (AFOS) project will eventually enable objective guidance such as Model Output Statistics (MOS) to be produced locally. Simple numerical models have been selected as part of the Local AFOS MOS Program (LAMP) to be run at weather service field office to aid in the production of local MOS forecasts. The sea level pressure (SLP) model which ran operationally at the National Meteorological Center (NMC) in the late 1960's as a part of the Subsynoptic Advection Model (SAM) has been adapted for LAMP. The SLP model, with the changes that have been made from its original formulation, is documented here.
