River Forecast Centers | Snapshot from T-12h (right panel is Stage IV) |
12-hour loop, T-12h to T-1h |
The Stage II/IV job is run at 33min past the top of each hour. Hourly Stage IV is re-made hourly (if there is new input) for the first 23 hours after valid time, then again at 1/3/5/7 days after valid time. The 6-hourly Stage IV is re-made hourly (if there is new 6h input) for 42 hours after valid time; the four 6-hourlies covering a 12Z-12Z 24h period are also re-made on a fixed schedule, regardless of input, at 1/3/5/7 days after the ending 12Z (i.e. at the 12:33Z run); at which time the corresponding 24h totals are also re-made. The current day's 24h totals are made at 15:33/21:33/23:33Z run cycles. (Note: after 2 May 2017, the current day's 24h totals will be made hourly, at 12:33/13:33...,23:33Z).
