Eta Model Runs (ETA)
Instrument Categories: Derived Quantities and Models
General Overview
Eta is one of National Centers for Environmental Prediction's mesoscale numerical weather prediction models. The name eta derives from the model's vertical coordinate known as the "eta" or "step-mountain" coordinate. The data archived by ARM come from the 00Z and 12Z model runs and include the 0h-analysis and 6h-forecast data resulting in 4 files per day.
