Could that explain the screwy last runs of the GFDL?????????
I would say "no". It would explain screwy runs for the GFS, but not the GFDL.
Actually Hugh, that may not be "entirely" true and perhaps Clark can verify this since he seems to have the inside scoop on sonding schedules... I fairly certain that the GFDL is initialized off the GFS parameters I'm afraid...
Ah... my bad, I think you may be right. How about the screwy last run of the BAMM, then? Did it initialize off the GFS?
The thing I am getting at - which may be completely stupid - is that the last GFS I've seen (the one on WU), ISN'T screwy at all! It's an 8am ET run, same as the GFDL, but the BAMM is a 2pm ET run. Maybe the graphic is old.
