Forecast Model Animations

The following links provide easy access to the forecast model graphics and animations produced here at NOAA ARL using model data from the NOAA National Center's for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the GrADS display software. Another source of model graphics is available from NCEP at the following location:
https://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/. All meteorological data sets have data on pressure levels (no hybrid or sigma level plots).
