Analysis plots are created from GDAS analysis and first guess (6-hr forecast from last GDAS cycle). All data are regridded using bilinear interpolation, if needed, to the G002 (2.5x2.5 degree) grid. Average plotted values in the upper right of each plots are areal averages.

Ensemble plots are created from the model ensemble mean and spread files. All data are regridded using bilinear interpolation, if needed, to the G002 (2.5x2.5 degree) grid. Average plotted values in the upper right of each plots are areal averages.
