SEA ICE AND WEATHER PREDICTIONS

GFS forecasting

Global Forecast System (GFS) is a weather forecast model produced by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction. It is used to predict weather out to 16 days.

This model has a horizontal resolution of 18 miles (28 km) between grid points.

Resolution drops to 44 miles (70 km) for 1–2 week forecast periods.

Analog forecasting

Analog forecasts involve examining today's forecast scenario and remembering a day in the past when the weather scenario looked very similar (an analog).

The precipitation analyses used as analog input for this technique are the 32-km resolution North American Regional Reanalysis.

CFS forecasting

The Climate Forecast System (CFS) is a model representing the global interaction between Earth's oceans, land, and atmosphere.

Offers hourly data with a horizontal resolution down to 0.5° (approximately 56 km) around Earth for many variables.

Forecast maps

The European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) provides global forecasts, climate reanalyses, and specific datasets, designed to meet different user requirements.

ECMWF’s operational forecasts aim to show how the weather is most likely to evolve. To do this, the Centre produces an ensemble of predictions.
