Entry: Global Forecast System v13.0
URI: https://codes.nws.noaa.gov/NumericalWeatherPrediction/Models/GFS13
The NCEP’s Global Forecast System (GFS) is the cornerstone of NCEP’s operational production suite of numerical guidance. NCEP’s global forecasts provide deterministic and probabilistic guidance out to 16 days. The GFS provides initial and/or boundary conditions for NCEP’s other models for regional, ocean and wave prediction systems. The Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) uses maximum amounts of satellite and conventional observations from global sources and generates initial conditions for the global forecasts. The global data assimilation and forecasts are made four times daily at 0000, 0600, 1200 and 1800 UTC. For more information, see http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.php?branch=GFS
