The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate
Forecast System (CFS) is initialized four times per day (0000, 0600,
1200, and 1800 UTC). NCEP upgraded CFS to version 2 on March 30,
2011. This is the same model that was used to create the NCEP
Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR).
Selected CFS time series products are those that are expected to be
most useful to users of the dataset, but the products here are by no
means an exhaustive compilation of all of the possible products that
could be created from the full 6-hourly CFS dataset.
The products here are available at 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 degree
horizontal resolutions at hourly intervals by combining either 1)
the analysis and one- through five-hour forecasts, or 2) the one-
through six-hour forecasts, for each initialization time. Beginning
with January 1, 2011, these data are archived as an extension of
CFSR.
The files in this dataset are grouped by month, so data for a
particular month are not available until a few days into the
subsequent month. If you need data for the current month, please
consult the CFSv2 dataset that contains the complete suite of
6-hourly products.
