5. Product

The FourCastNetGFS model runs 4 times a day at 00Z, 06Z, 12Z, and 18Z cycles. The horizontal resolution is on 0.25 degree lat-lon grid. The vertical levels include 13 pressure levels:

50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 850, 925, and 1000 hPa.

The model output fields are:

• 3D fields on pressure levels:

  • temperature

  • U and V component of wind

  • geopotential height

  • relative humidity

• 2D surface fields:

  • 10-m U and V components of wind

  • 100-m U and V components of wind

  • 2-m temperature

  • mean sea-level pressure

  • surfce pressure

  • Precipitable water
