Description:

  • summary: Two time dimensions: reference and forecast; full access to all GRIB records
  • rights: Freely available
  • processing_level: Transmitted through Unidata Internet Data Distribution.
  • processing_level: Read by CDM Grib Collection.
  • summary: NCEP Global Forecast System Model, previously called AVN/MRF (Medium Range Forecast)
  • summary: NCEP GFS Model : AWIPS 215 (Q) Grid. Regional - CONUS (Lambert Conformal). Model runs are made at 0, 6, 12, and 18Z, with analysis and forecasts every 3 hours out to 84 hours, and every 6 hours out to 10 days. Horizontal = 372 by 260 points, resolution 20 km, LambertConformal projection. Vertical = 1000 to 100 hPa pressure levels (29 levels); surface, height above ground, pressure layers.
