T-REX: NCEP GFS Imagery

Summary

This dataset contains images for NOAA/NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS) in GIF format. Image products include 300mb wind/height, 500mb vorticity/height, 700mb relative humidity/omega/height, 850 mb temperature/wind/height, MSLP/precip/1000-500mb thickness, and tropopause pressure/wind. All except the tropopause pressure product are available every six hours from 26 February to 2 May 2006. The forecasts are available every 6 hours out to 96 hours. These images were retrieved from the NOAA/NWS web site. The tropopause pressure product is available every six hours from 1 March to 2 May 2006. The forecasts are available every six hours out to 24 hours. These images were retrieved from the COLA/IGES web site.
