Entry: Forecast Cycle

URI: https://codes.nws.noaa.gov/StatPP/Data/Time/FcstCyc

An instant in time that generally recurs daily and is used to distinguish among NWP simulations run on the same day. This concept can be encoded in a variety of ways. Least preferred are 2-digit and 4-digit integers. The most preferred encoding is to express the forecast cycle as a Unix Epoch Time which is arbitrarily assigned to the epoch date of 1970-1-1. Generally used to support cycle time stratification of a StatPP technique.
