• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Looking for archive model data...

I have a presentation later this month for the local AMS chapter regarding a couple of outbreaks I've chased; specifically, May 12, 2004 and March 28, 2007.

Where could I find archive model data? For example, if I want to re-analyze the 12z ETA from those dates.

Thanks, George Flickinger
 
A quick look at Google suggests Unisys, the NCDC and the NWS ARL (Air Resources Laboratory), for starters.
 
For March 28 at least, I have a GEMPAK file with 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 hour forecasts from the 12Z 28 March initialization, as well as some stuff from the 00Z and 18Z runs of that same day...PM me if you would like it. Can't help you with May 12, 2004, though.
