The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS) is the cornerstone of NCEP’s operational production suite of numerical guidance. The GFS provides initial and/or boundary conditions for NCEP’s other operational models, including regional, ocean, and wave prediction systems.
