• Description:
  "The derivation is based on ECMWF's publications. These detailed notes intend to provide a documentation of what was actually derived and coded into the existing GFS Eulerian over-strucure. The model equations presented in this document are the equations found in Office Note 461 but cast in a Semi-Lagrangian "ready" form"--Page 2.
