Weather Forecasting

Top ten weather models

Weather prediction models have exploded in the last few years. Sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing have all pushed the envelopes and helped spur new apps that leverage this data and give the user unprecedented access to almost unlimed data models. Here are the top ten, explained here.

• Global Forecast System (GFS)
• Integrated Forecast Model (IFS)
• Icosahedral Non-Hydrostatic (ICON)
• North American Mesoscale (NAM)
• NOAH Environmental Modeling System (NEMS)
• Weather Research and Forecast (WRF)
• High Resolution Deterministic Prediction System (HRDPS)
• Predict Wind (PWG and PWE)
• Weather Flow (WF and WRF)
• High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR and AROME)
