• Description:
  "Since February of 1982 the National Meteorological Center (NMC) has been receiving, via the GTS, 500 mb height (and sea level pressure) forecasts made from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) operational model. The forecasts are valid from day one thru five (in 1 day increments) from the 12GMT initial observation time. They are sent on a 5° latitude-longitude grid covering the northern hemisphere from 20°N to the pole. For NMC's convenience the data are promptly interpolated to the NMC 1 bedient grid for display and for verification and comparison between the ECMWF and NMC model forecasts. These objective verifications and intercomparisons are the subject of this essay"--First page
