The
North American Ensemble Forecast System is a new weather
modeling system run jointly by the Meteorological Service
of Canada (MSC) and the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) to provide
numerical weather prediction (NWP) products to weather forecasters in
both countries for a forecast period that runs out to 2 weeks in the
future. The NAEFS combines the Canadian global forecast model ensemble
and the NWS global forecast model ensemble into a joint ensemble that
will create weather forecasts for all of North
America. At present, all the national weather agencies in North America
are participating in NAEFS - the Meteorological Service of Canada, the
National Meteorological Service of Mexico, and the U.S. National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NWS.
