The ones you mention: CPC, SPC are the Climate Prediction Center and Storm Prediction Center. Whereas others like GEM, GFS, NAM, WRF, ECMWF, etc are the names of weather models.<br /><br />The best source for you is probably the Glossary on the NOAA site. It won't have all of the terms, but it should have most of them.<br /><br />http://www.weather.gov/glossary/Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378918135776009197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-31329280209404850802010-11-03T10:18:15.224-05:002010-11-03T10:18:15.224-05:00There are a number of Acronyms used in the forecas...There are a number of Acronyms used in the forecasts given here and on the medium and long term outlooks CPC SPC GEM <br /><br />Is there one site or source you would recommend that define these?

They include <br />Mean temp 4.7, (8.2)<br />Precip 41.6mms, (48.0)<br />and a monthly concurrent slide from El Nino to La Nina.<br /><br />On Nov 12th 1995 it was a cool -26.9. with a mean min Nov temp -14.6. This was followed by Extreme Dec to Apr96 Monthly lows of -37.0,-39.4.-41.8,-33.7,-22.9.. which for some, might make an ideal winter!!<br /><br />That cold Nov/winter followed a 1995 ice melt of over 2 million sq. miles. It was first time the loss exceeded the 1979-2008 average (loss) by over 1 million sq mi.

Trending colder after that but still too much uncertainty about how the rest of the month will play out concerning temperatures and precipitation. <br /><br />Note that in the past 10 years, the majority of our Novembers have been dry and mild.. possibly in response to warmer Arctic ocean temperatures that help delay the onset of cold Arctic air over the Prairies. This year is seeing yet another abnormally mild fall over the Arctic with slower than normal ice growth.. hopefully that means another year with a delayed start to winter..
