Description:The Global Ensemble Forecast System version 12 (GEFSv12) has been implemented into National Centers For Environmental Prediction operations since September 2020, which was uncoupled, but increased the horizontal resolution from 34 to 25 km, increased ensemble members from 21 to 31, and extended forecasts from 16 to 35 days. It significantly improved probabilistic forecast skills in many categories, such as precipitation, tropical storms, Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), etc. The improvements resulted from many aspects, including model resolution increase, dynamical core upgrade, advances in hybrid data assimilation and physical parameterizations, and more importantly, from using new stochastic schemes to improve forecast
