Application of MM5 Model and the Operational Weather Forecast System

MM5 model system is one of the most widely used mesoscale meteorological modeling system in the world. Due to its nonhydrostatically dynamical structure, optional physical options and the advanced Four-Dimensional Data Assimilation (FDDA), MM5 is mainly used in meteorological research and operational weather predicting domain. For some technical reason, MM5 is always running on UNIX system, the case running on Windows is quite few. Application of MM5 to Windows has been tried and is successful, and an operational weather forecast system is established based on the work. Some problems were put forward, the structure of PC operational weather forecast system and its scheme was introduced.
