Oahu multi-spectral model

Atmospheric model for Oahu, run by Prof. Chen, UH Meteorology

The Mulit-Spectral Model (MSM) is run daily at the UH met department by Prof. Chen's group. The regional model uses results from the global NCEP model (AVN later GFS) as boundary forcing. Results were read from DAT tape archives provided by Prof. Chen.
