User:Vipul/North American Ensemble Forecasting System

The North American Ensemble Forecasting System (NAEFS) is a joint project involving the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) in Canada, the National Weather Service (NWS) in the United States, and the National Meteorological Service of Mexico (NMSM) in Mexico that works on ensemble forecasting for the weather in the North American region for the next 1-14 days. The aim is to provide better operational guidance than what can be built from any individual country's ensembles alone. Data from the NAEFS is incorporated into the forecasts of the respective national agencies.

History
NAEFS was launched in November 2004 in the presence of representatives of the three countries.

Academic reception
The NAEFS has been the subject of some meteorological research.

Some research on TIGGE has compared it with the THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble (TIGGE), a part of THORPEX, an initiative of the World Meteorological Organization. The research compares the ensembles and considers whether combining them can yield even better forecasts than either one individually.
