Dataset Summary
This dataset consists of various sets of historical operational GFS forecasts, and analysis files from 2016-2022. The analysis files and forecasts are initialized at 00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC every day and ran for multiple hours. Additionally, raw observations are also included, which are the observations that are used to initialize the analysis and forecasts. The dataset is being expanded over time as more historical data is processed, and more observations as well.
The data/forecasts/GFSv16/ folder holds the historical operational forecasts out to 48 hours from initialization, on all pressure levels, and for all variables that are present in every timestep (so not any accumulated values). The data is all stored as zipped Zarr stores, openable by xarray.

Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
This dataset was constructed to help create a similar and expanded dataset to that used in Kiesler 2022 paper, where graph networks were used for weather forecasting.
