Meteorology: Sources of Numerical Model output and other Prognoses
This section has a comprehensive listing of sites providing links to computer products, or products based on computer models, originating from some of the main centres in Meteorology


Numerical Model output and forecast charts based on numerical model output are, in general, available on the open internet for non-commercial use. Should you require such information for commercial purposes, you are strongly advised to contact the information supplier; the onus rests on the user to satisfy him/herself that their use of these products does not violate any rules/regulations laid down by the supplier or by the World Meteorological Organization


Caution: The Internet is not an official source of these products
When accessing and using forecast products always establish the time of issue since
from time to time some charts do not always get updated for operational reasons on the various servers.

Update 12th September 2009

Zetnet, the host company of this web site, is now under new ownership.
Unfortunately since the transfer of ownership earlier this year
all real-time accessing of the latest analyses and forecast products
was terminated with effect from 0001GMT on Thursday 16th April 2009.
Since then Paul Martin (no longer with Zetnet) has very kindly
resurrected the grabbing of the charts
and the conversion of the TIF products to GIF and PNG formats.
This is now done outside of Zetnet and I must emphasise that it is thanks to Paul
that access to these products has been restored.

Also restored by Paul is the very popular
thumbs display of the latest Met Office MSLP analyses and MSLP forecast products
again access is to external links which take you out of this site.
In the event of the charts not being updated on this site
there are links below (HTTP and FTP addresses)
to access these charts directly from the servers in Washington (all in TIF format)


Analyses and Prognoses issued by the Met Office
(links to the Met Office Global Model output further down the page)

The analyses are based on observations, interpretation of satellite imagery and the Met Office Global Model background fields in data sparse areas. The Forecast products are based on the Met Office Global model forecast fields, but manipulated by the forecasters in a dynamically consistent way when considered necessary, such as to take account of known errors in the model initialisation or in light of a consensus of a range of solutions from other models.

Global Model output from the Met Office

The UK Met Office runs two configurations of its Unified Model, namely the Global Model and the Mesoscale model. Some output from the Global Model is classified as Essential within the terms of WMO Resolution 40. Details of what products are classed as Essential are contained in the WMO Operational Newsletters issued by the WMO in Geneva. A listing of the bulletins/products listed as Additional is contained in a PDF file which may be accessed via the FTP directory for Operational information on the WMO site. The onus is on the user to abide by the terms of the Resolution and ensure that use of any products which may be classed as Additional are used strictly for ones own non-commercial use. Disregard of this directive could result in all access to such information being withdrawn.
