The NCEP operational Global Forecast System analysis and forecast grids are on a 0.25 by 0.25 global latitude longitude grid. Grids include analysis and forecast time steps at a 3 hourly interval from 0 to 240, and a 12 hourly interval from 240 to 384. Model forecast runs occur at 00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC daily. For real-time data access please use the NCEP data server [http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/products/gfs/]. NOTE: This dataset now has a direct, continuously updating copy located on AWS (https://noaa-gfs-bdp-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html [https://noaa-gfs-bdp-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html]). Therefore, the RDA will stop updating this dataset early 2026

CCMP_RT V2.1 has been created using the same VAM as CCMP V2.0 Input data have changed and now include all V7 radiometer data from RSS, V8.1 GMI data from RSS, scatterometer data from RSS (V4 QuikSCAT and V1.2 Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT)), NO buoy data, and National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) GFS 0.25 degree data for the background field. base_date=Y2015 M12 D31 cdm_data_type=Grid contact=Remote Sensing Systems, support@remss.com contributor_name=Carl Mears, Joel Scott, Frank Wentz, Ross Hoffman, Mark Leidner, Robert Atlas, Joe Ardizzone contributor_role=Co-Investigator, Software Engineer, Project Lead, Co-Investigator, Software Engineer, Principal Investigator, Software Engineer Conventions=CF-1.6, COARDS, ACDD-1.3 data_structure=grid description=RSS VAM 6-hour analyses starting from the NCEP GFS wind analyses Easternmost_Easting=179.875 geospatial_lat_max=78.375 geospatial_lat_min=-78.375 geospatial_lat_resolution=0.25 geospatial_lat_units=degrees_north geospatial_lon_max=179.875 geospatial_lon_min=-179.875 geospatial_lon_resolution=0.25 geospatial_lon_units=degrees_east history=20200826T214905ZZ - netCDF generated from original data using IDL 8.5 by RSS infoUrl=http://www.remss.com/ institute_id=RSS institution=RSS keywords_vocabulary=GCMD Science Keywords Northernmost_Northing=78.375 processing_level=L3.0 project=RSS Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform Ocean Surface Wind Project references=Mears et al., Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans,124, 6997-7010, 2019, Hoffman et al., Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2013; Atlas et al., BAMS, 2011; Atlas et al., BAMS, 1996 sourceUrl=(local files) Southernmost_Northing=-78.375 standard_name_vocabulary=CF Standard Name Table v70 time_coverage_end=2015-12-31T18:00:00Z time_coverage_start=2015-01-16T00:00:00Z Westernmost_Easting=-179.875

This data contains general government sector operating expenses, sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics historical data and the Department of Treasury and Finance, categorised by ‘government purpose classification’ (GPC) and ‘classification of the functions of government’ (COFOG).\r \r The Australian system of Government Finance Statistics (GFS) was revised by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, with the release of the Australian System of Government Finance Statistics: Concepts, Sources and Methods 2015 Cat. No. 5514.0.\r \r Implementation of the updated GFS manual has resulted in the COFOG framework replacing the former GPC framework, with effect from the 2018-19 financial year for financial reporting under AASB 1049.\r \r The underlying data from 1961-62 to 1997-98 represents a conversion from the original cash series to an accruals basis by estimating depreciation and superannuation expenses based on statistical modelling.\r \r Although the conversion provides a basis for comparison with total expenses in the current series of accrual GFS information from 1998 (in the attached table), the estimated accrued expense items have not been apportioned to individual purpose classifications.\r \r The absence of these splits between functional classifications in the attached table data therefore represents a break in the series and it is not possible to compare individual purpose categories with those in other tables.\r \r Similarly, the transition from GPC to COFOG represents an additional break in the series and comparability between the two frameworks will not be possible.\r \r The key reporting changes from GPC to COFOG are as follows:\r \r - the number of categories has reduced from 12 under GPC to 10 under COFOG; \r - the fuel and energy, agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting categories have been abolished and are now part of the new economic affairs category. The majority of the outputs in other economic affairs are also included in this new category;\r - public debt transactions have moved from the other purposes category (i.e. primarily interest expense on borrowings) to general public services category;\r - a new environmental protection category was created to include functions such as waste management, water waste management, pollution and production of biodiversity and landscape, which were previously classified under housing and community amenities category, as well as national and state parks functions from the recreation and culture category; and\r - housing functions such as housing assistance and housing concessions are now part of the social protection category

Since 2 July 1993, the AMRC has been archiving the National Centers for Environmental Prediction's (formerly the National Meteorological Center) Medium Range Forecast Model analyses. Since 14 April 1994, the forecasts have also been archived. This collection can be very useful, as it is a smoothed data set over the data sparse Antarctic region. Data collection has stopped as of 31 August, 2015.
