NCEP GFS 0.25 Degree Model Data

Project:

SOCRATES

Summary

This data set contains the 0.25 degree resolution output from the NCEP GFS (National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast System) model during the SOCRATES field phase. Grids include analysis and forecast time steps at a three hourly interval to 240 hours and at 12 hour intervals to 384 hours. The GFS runs are available at 00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC daily. These data are in GRIB2 format.
