The NCEP’s Global Forecast System (GFS) is the cornerstone of NCEP’s operational production suite of numerical guidance. NCEP’s global forecasts provide deterministic and probabilistic guidance out to 16 days. The GFS provides initial and/or boundary conditions for NCEP’s other models for regional, ocean and wave prediction systems.
This webpage displays verification for the full stream of GFS version 16 (i.e., combined retrospectives and real-time parallel). The full stream starts on 2019 05 10 and will run through the operational implementation of GFS version 16. GFS version 16 is scheduled to go into operations on 2021 March 17. The service change notice for GFS version 16 can be found here.
This page displays results for the atmospheric verification. Wave verification can be viewed here for bouys and here for satellite.
Verification is done using EMC_verif-global, which uses METplus.
