NAM
(set_type='best')[source]¶ Subclass of the ForecastModel class representing NAM forecast model.
Model data corresponds to NAM CONUS 12km resolution forecasts from CONDUIT.
Parameters: - set_type: string, default ‘best’
Type of model to pull data from.
Attributes: - dataframe_variables: list
Common variables present in the final set of data.
- model: string
Name of the UNIDATA forecast model.
- model_type: string
UNIDATA category in which the model is located.
- variables: dict
Defines the variables to obtain from the weather model and how they should be renamed to common variable names.
- units: dict
Dictionary containing the units of the standard variables and the model specific variables.
