Generated by the weather forecasters at regional NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The NDFD is a seamless composite or mosaic of gridded forecasts from individual NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) from around the U.S. as well as the NCEP Ocean Prediction Center and National Hurricane Center/TAFB. The time resolution of forecast projections varies by variable (element) based on user needs, forecast skill, and forecaster workload. Each WFO prepares gridded NDFD forecasts for their specific geographic area of responsibility. When these locally generated forecasts are merged into a national mosaic, occasionally areas of discontinuity will be evident. Staff at NWS forecast offices attempt to resolve discontinuities along the boundaries of the forecasts by coordinating with forecasters at surrounding WFOs and using workstation forecast tools that identify and resolve some of these differences. The NWS is making progress in this area, and recognizes that this is a significant issue in which improvements are still needed. The NDFD was developed by NWS Meteorological Development Laboratory. The spatial resolution is about 2.5 km (1.6 mi) for CONUS, HI, and Guam, 1.25 km (0.8) for PR and 3km (1.9 mi) for Alaska. The probability of precipitation forecasts are available or each 12-hour period out to +72 hours (3 days) from 0000 UTC on Day 1 (current day). Precipitation forecasts are available for each 6-hour period out to +72 hours (3 days) from 0000 UTC on Day 1 (current day). Snowfall forecasts are available for each 6-hour period out to +48 hours (2 days) from 0000 UTC on Day 1 (current day). Day 1-3 forecasts are updated hourly from 00Z to 23Z and for 12-hr precipitation probability Day 4-7 forecasts are updated at 00, 06, 12, 18, and 22Z. This data is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded P0Y0M0DT0H0M15S https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/themes/custom/ncei/logo.svg NOAA logo SVG EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WINDS > SURFACE WINDS > WIND SPEED EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > WEATHER EVENTS > TROPICAL CYCLONES > MAXIMUM WIND GUST theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2020-01-09 publication 9.1 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
