System (CFS) is a fully coupled model representing the interaction between
the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land, and sea ice. CFS was developed at the
Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) at NCEP. The operational CFS was
upgraded to version 2 (CFSv2) on March 30, 2011.
Forecasts are initialized four times per day (0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800
UTC). This is the same model that was used to create the NCEP Climate
Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), and the purpose of the CFSv2 dataset is
to extend CFSR. We ingest only a subset of bands from files matching
cdas1.t??z.sfluxgrbf06.grib2.
For more information about CFS, please see the CFS NOAA site.
