Real Time Predominant P-type Nomogram Plots and
Partial Thickness Data


The data below is intended for use with the TREND technique which uses the Partial Thickness Predominant P-type Nomogram. A reference document which contains a thorough review of the TREND technique along with a discussion of the technique, how it is used, its limitations, along with a new method to visualize the nomogram is available at http://www.meas.ncsu.edu/nws/www/trend.

The Predominate P-Type TRENDs Nomogram Visualizer is available to provide users an easy to use, interactive reference for use with the Predominate P-Type TRENDs Nomogram.

A large inventory of partial thickness charts including RUC analyses as well as NAM and GFS model forecasts across the Carolinas and the eastern CONUS is available from the Partial Thickness Charts Web Page.



RUC Analysis
The latest RUC analysis of 1000-850 mb thickness (blue) and 850-700 mb thickness (red) with observed present weather and wet-bulb temperature in Fahrenheit (green) is shown below. (RUC analyses from previous hours available at the Partial Thickness Charts Web Page.)

NAM and GFS Forecasts
The 12 hour forecasts from the NAM and GFS of the 1000-850 mb thickness (blue) and 850-700 mb thickness (red) with the precipitation forecast for the previous 6-hour period from the model (color shading) ending at the time displayed is shown below. (Additional forecast times and a larger domain are available from the Partial Thickness Charts Web Page.)
