        Title: 
          NOAA/NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS) Atmospheric Model: Pacific
    Description: 
      Abstract: 
        U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National 
        Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System 
        (GFS) numerical weather prediction model 8-day, 3-hourly forecast for 
        the Pacific region at approximately 25-km or 0.25-deg resolution.
      Purpose: 
        PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to 
        support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in 
        the U.S. Pacific Islands region.
