Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah, have relied on a mesoscale ensemble prediction system (EPS) known as the Ensemble Four-Dimensional Weather System (E-4DWX). This article describes E-4DWX and the innovative way in which it is calibrated, how it...
Microburst phenomena were examined from an array of 26 Surface Atmospheric Measurement System (SAMS) stations at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG). SAMS sensors were mounted at 10 m above ground level (AGL) for wind speed and direction and at 2 m AGL for temperature, relative humidity, and pressure...
A prototype real-time four-dimensional data assimilation (RT-FDDA) system was implemented at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) in mid 2000 for operational use in supporting field tests. The DPG RT-FDDA system uses observation nudging (Newtonian relaxation) with the Penn State/National Center for ...

The U. S. Army's Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) in the Great Salt Lake Desert of west-central Utah is surrounded by mountain ranges. The Stansbury Mountains are east, the Onaqui and Deep Creek Mountains are west, and the Dugway range is south of the Proving Ground. Winds at DPG are ...
The aim of this model-based study is to investigate the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model's (WRF-ARW, although WRF from hereout) ability to predict the occurrence and three-dimensional structure of playa breezes occurring in Dugway Proving Ground, Utah using sub-km nesting...
