AFGWC's (Air Force Global Weather Central's) Advanced Weather Analysis and Prediction System (AWAPS)

摘要

Describes the three computer models used in the Air Force Global Weather Central's Advanced Weather Analysis and Prediction System (AWAPS) and explains how they interact to form a production cycle. These models are the HIgh REsolition Analysis Systems (HIRAS), the Global Spectral Model (GSWM), and the Relocatable Window Model (RWM). Also gives a brief introduction to the basics of numerical weather prediction.
