Subject: Soliciting Public Comments Through November 30, 2010
         for Experimental Gridded Localized Aviation Model
         Output Statistics Program (LAMP) Products

Effective Tuesday, September 28, 2010, the NWS began producing
experimental Gridded LAMP observations and guidance products for
the CONUS and disseminating them on the NWS server.  These
products are available in GRIB2 format. The NWS is seeking user
feedback on these products through November 30, 2010.

The Gridded LAMP products contain guidance on a 2.5 km Lambert
Conformal grid covering the same expanse as the National Digital
Forecast Database (NDFD) CONUS grid.  Grids will be generated
hourly consisting of gridded forecasts for projections of 1 to
25 hours in advance, as well as gridded observations for the
initial time of the Gridded LAMP cycle. Grids will initially be
available for the following elements with others to be added at
a later date:

  2-meter temperature observations and the associated error
     estimations
  2-meter dewpoint temperature observations and the associated
     error estimations
  Ceiling height observations
  Visibility observations
  2-meter temperature forecast guidance
  2-meter dewpoint temperature forecast guidance
  Ceiling height forecast guidance
  Visibility forecast guidance

The products are available in GRIB2 format in the National
Digital Guidance Database (NDGD). They will initially be
available on the NWS server at:

ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/SL.us008001/ST.expr/DF.gr2/DC.ndgd/GT.l
mpgfs/AR.conus
 or
http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/SL.us008001/ST.expr/DF.gr2/DC.ndgd/G
T.lmpgfs/AR.conus

A web page outlining the Gridded LAMP products and the NWS
server directory and file structure can be found online at:

Users are encouraged to provide feedback on these experimental
products by using the brief survey and comment form available on
line at:
