I have a question that I hope to gain consensus on. In speaking with a
friend from NCEP over winter break, he kept reminding me on how the AVN was
now called the GFS. Is it truly the same model? Also, is the MRF now also
considered the GFS.
We were going to update our weather server to reflect the current lingo
just like we recently did with the GOES8 to GOES12. Since my programmer
just went through that whole ordeal I thought it would be good to have him
now make the AVN/MRF transition to the GFS.
So I decided to go to the NCEP site and I found current (today) references
to GFS products, the GFS MRF-like products, MRF products and AVN
products. So what DOES NCEP want us to call this(these) model(s)? Is
there any reason to continue to use the AVN and MRF terminology?
Thanks!
Tom
