ARPS 4.0 User's Guide Ordering Information
The updated and significantly expanded ARPS User's Guide, Version 4.0, is
now available from the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms. This
380 page, 15 chapter document is an entirely self-contained guide to using
the ARPS, and includes an extensive runtime/configuration reference guide,
code structure and reference charts, the theoretical formulation of the
model, and information about pre- and post-processing. Also included is
a chapter on answers to frequently-asked questions.
The User's Guide is spiral bound for easy use, and contains a full index.
Due to the size of the guide and the associated printing costs, CAPS will
no longer be able to distribute it free of charge. However, copies can be
obtained directly from CAPS at the following rates (US $):
- $30.00 per copy for domestic shipment (via UPS)
- $35.00 per copy for international shipment (via surface mail)
- $24.00 per copy for Norman Weather Center or other local users
All costs include tax (where applicable) and shipping. Allow 2 to 4 weeks
for delivery. Overnight or higher priority shipping will be available for
an additional charge.
You can order copies of the Guide by check or purchase order. No credit
card however. When paying by check, please make the check payable to University
of Oklahoma-CAPS.
Please contact the CAPS office at the address below for additional details.
We hope you enjoy using the ARPS!
