Abstract:
NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFSR and CFSv2) initial conditions, full ingest data are found in this dataset collection. These data include conventional and satellite observations, and some select gridded analysis products. The satellite observations contains a subset of the level 1b or higher satellite data products used in the NCEP Global Data Assimilation System. These files can be used with the Weather Research Forecast (WRF), and Community Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) Data Assimilation (DA) systems. However, they can be useful for a variety of applications, particularly where conventional data is scarce.
