The NCEP Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2)
Version 2 of the Climate Forecast System was developed at NCEP's Environmental Modeling Center. It is a fully coupled model representing the interaction between the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land and sea ice. CFS Version 2 became operational at NCEP in March 2011.
