Description:The suite of production computer jobs which ingests meteorological information, analyzes it, and predicts the future state of the atmosphere for world-wide distribution comprises a number of sub-suites, or "runs". These runs, although differing in purpose and content, have much in common: each includes establishing analysis/initial conditions describing the current state of the atmosphere, forecasting the future state, and making the analysis and forecast information available to a wide assortment of users both inside and outside of the NWS. There are six such runs; all but one are repeated twice per day, using observational data taken at or near the synoptic time of 0000 hours UTC (00Z), and again using data taken at 1200 hours UTC (12Z). These are referred to as the 00Z and 12Z "cycles" respectively. One of the runs also makes use of U6Z data (in the 00Z cycle) or 18Z data (in the 12Z cycle).
