Abstract
Abstract : Describes the numerical analysis and forecast models most widely used by U.S. Air Force meteorologists. These models are: the Air Force Global Weather Central (AFGWC) Global Spectral Model (GSM) the AFGWC Real-Time Nephanalysis (RTNEPH); the AFGWC High Resolution Analysis (HIRAS) models; the AFGWC Five- Layer cloud forecast model (5-LAYER); the National Meteorological Center (NMC) Nested Grid Model (NGM); and the NMC Aviation/Medium Range Forecast (AVN/MRF) model. Report also describes model grids and tells how the grids are built. Strengths and weaknesses of the various models are discussed, along with AFGWC and NMC production cycles.
