EMC Research and Development Graphics
Official guidance for many NCEP operational systems can be found at the Model Analysis and Guidance (MAG) web page. The MAG page is supported 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
EMC maintains numerous research and development (R&D) web sites of operational model guidance. These assist EMC scientists in system validation, verification against experimental tests, dissemination of experimental results, and robust diagnostic evaluation of NCEP's numerical guidance. These R&D guidance pages are not subject to 24/7 support, and thus may be unavailable during system outages. Note : All pages listed below are EMC-generated unless otherwise noted.
