NOAA's Premier Weather Forecast Model Goes 4-D | Department of Commerce

NOAA's Premier Weather Forecast Model Goes 4-D | Department of Commerce: NOAA’s powerful new supercomputers paved the way for another upgrade to the U.S. Global Forecast System (GFS), NOAA’s primary model for weather prediction. Today’s upgrade builds on last year’s significant boost to the GFS, which more than doubled the resolution of the model grid from 27 kilometers to 13 kilometers, resulting in higher resolution model output and more precise weather forecasts and warnings.
