RAP
(resolution='20', set_type='best')[source]¶ Subclass of the ForecastModel class representing RAP forecast model.
Model data corresponds to Rapid Refresh CONUS 20km resolution forecasts.
Parameters: - resolution (string or int, default '20') – The model resolution, either ‘20’ or ‘40’ (km)
- set_type (string, default 'best') – Type of model to pull data from.
-
