This unified global weather analysis/forecast system predicts the weather in areas of Department of Defense operations worldwide. The Naval Research Laboratory-developed system provides global atmospheric fields from the surface to an altitude of 72 km, provides forecasts of tropical cyclone formation and movement, gale-force winds, high seas warnings, and estimation of meteorological effects on weapon systems. It also provides boundary conditions for high-resolution regional atmospheric forecast systems.
