[rdale]

One coming to replace a not-so-valuable resource, one good friend leaving...

1. Proposed Replacement of Eta Based MOS Products With NAM MOS Products - Approved, Effective 12/9/2008

2. Proposed Termination of the NGM and Related NGM-Based Products - Approved, Effective 3/3/2009

Ahhh, goodbye to the good old NGM. It was a fun ride....

 

[Jayson Prentice]

It's kind of sad to lose the NGM, on occasions the MOS data is actually the best of the models!

 

[John Wetter]

Good bye NGM, I only thought you were going away for the last 10 years... There goes one of the lazy forecast numbers...

Temps can be tough to beat on the NGM MOS... I've been watching the new NAM MOS, and it's not rocking my socks so far.

I definitely agree with that statement Rob. If you have any sort of forecast that doesn't involve a unique situation, so in general a majority of your forecasts, the NGM MOS has such a long history that it will be much better in general temperatures than either the NAM or GFS MOS values.
