Description:

"A new medium range, numerical weather prediction model was implemented at the U.S. National Meteorological Center (NMC) on April 17, 1985. This note provides a general introduction to the new model which is referred to as the MRF, or medium range forecast, model. In the summer of 1983, NMC began to use its new supercomputer, a CYBER 205. By taking advantage of the computer's capabilities for very rapid processing of long data strings, or vectors, it was possible to increase the horizontal resolution of the NMC global spectral model from rhomboidal 30 to rhomboidal 40 spectral truncation. The provision to NMC of authorization to use highly optimized Fast Fourier Transforms developed by C. Temperton at the British Meteorological Office was instrumental in.this stage of development"--Introduction, paragraphs 1-2.
