Mayhap the technique of inserting 'bogus' data' to fill in the gaps left by observations should be briefly mentioned...although I'm not really sure if it's relevant enough to be inserted...anywho...Dr Denim 12:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eta vs NAM

Please revert back to the 10 Jan 06 version. The North American Mesoscale (NAM) run at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) is not a model, it's a placeholder. Currently the model designated as the NAM is the Eta model. Some time in the second quarter of CY06 NCEP will begin running the NMM-WRF as the NAM.

Incidentally, the Global Forecast System (GFS) is also a placeholder. Currently the AVN model is designated as the GFS, but if NCEP ever replaces the AVN model with a global version of WRF, or any other model, it will still be designated as the GFS.
