• Description:
  "The S1 score record at the National Meteorological Center (NMC) dates back to 1947 when 30-hour mean sea level (MSL) verification started. Thirty-hour refers to the length of the forecast from the time of the latest surface analysis to the verification hour. During this early period, these analyses were at 0630Z (=UTC) and 1830Z, the synoptic hour closest to radiosonde observations taken at 0300Z and 1500Z; verification time was at 0030Z and 1230Z."--Introduction, paragraph 1.
