A comprehensive nesting capability has been built into the NMMB. This note provides highlights of the key aspects of this capability. A global or regional parent domain can contain multiple static and/or moving nests that are 1-way or 2-way (upscale) interactive with their parent. Static nests can telescope through as many ‘generations’ as desired. Each moving nest can contain one moving nest within it but the innermost moving nest cannot telescope further. Each of these aspects of the nesting is described. The NMMB’s nests are currently used in operations in the NAM and in HMON. The purpose of this note is to describe the fundamentals of how the NMMB’s nesting works and basic aspects of how it is built therefore no forecast results are included.
