Abstract

This dataset contains the Limited Fine Mesh (LFM) model output from NCEP. The output contains initial time analyses and forecast fields from 6 hours out to 48 hours. These grids are no longer being produced by NCEP. The December, 1995 data is the last data we will archive from the LFM model.
