NOAA/NCEP GFS Forecast Products
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/209.037

Summary
This data set contains NOAA/NCEP GFS forecast model imagery over the Western
Pacific Ocean. Products include 200mb heights/winds, 200mb height anomaly,
500mb heights and PMSL, tropopause 2PVU height, 200/500/850925mb streamlines,
200-300mb and 700-850mb PV, 850-200mb shear, 850 and 200mb divergence,
200/500/850/925mb RH, and 850mb vorticity. Products are available every 6
hours to 36 hours and every 12 hours from 36-144 hours. These images were
developed by NRL and are in gif format.
