The Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) model was created at NOAA-FSL
and is run every 3 hours. This model contains the most sophisticated physics of the models
run at NCEP and is on par with research numerical models like MM5 and RAMS. The Eta model was
recently extended to 84 hours and runs 4 times per day (currently this site only offers the original
00/12z model cycles). The Global Forecast System (GFS) is a "spectral" numerical model
designed to forecast the entire globe for long duration (10 days and beyond). GFS is a new
acronym replacing the old Avn (Aviation) or MRF (Medium-range forecast) model.
