NOAA GFS analysis validation report

This dataset validation report plots a sample of values from the NOAA GFS analysis dataset over time and across space, comparing where possible to a previously validated reference dataset. It also reports the quantity of unavailable values and their associated timestamps. These analyses are one layer of a multi-layered dataset validation process we perform at dynamical.org and also provide users a preview of the dataset contents.

Summary

This dataset has been reviewed and is ready for use. There is one known data gap: approximately 16 hours of unavailable values on 2022-11-29 → 2022-11-30 caused by corrupted index sidecars in the upstream NOAA GFS archive (see Review notes below).

What looks good

Across all 21 variables, the validation maps match the NOAA GEFS reference in continental placement and feature alignment on the 0.25° global grid (latitude north-up, longitude −180° to +180°), with no flipped axes, missing seams, or off-grid coordinates.
Validation and reference histograms overlap for every comparable variable, with no unit-scale offsets. Physical ranges are realistic across the global snapshot at 2024-03-11T06:00: temperature roughly −58 to +42 °C, surface pressure 49 to 107 kPa, mean sea-level pressure 95.4 to 105.3 kPa, 10 m winds within ±24 m/s, precipitable water 0.2 to 79.5 kg/m², downward shortwave radiation 0 to 956 W/m², downward longwave radiation 72 to 478 W/m².
Time series at both sampled points (lat 46.5°N, lon −166.5°E in the North Pacific; lat −50.5°S, lon 171°E in the South Pacific) track the reference closely over 2024-08-04 → 2024-08-14 for temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, and precipitable water; diurnal cycles in shortwave radiation are in phase; categorical and accumulated variables align with reference timing.
No unexpected nulls outside the documented upstream gap. No quantization banding, sentinel-value bleed-through (the 20 km cloud-ceiling and −50% frozen-precipitation-fraction values both also appear in the GEFS reference and are upstream GRIB conventions for "no ceiling" / "no precipitation"), or unit mismatches were observed.

Review notes

Unavailable values 2022-11-29 → 2022-11-30 (approximately 16 hours, all variables). The upstream s3://noaa-gfs-bdp-pds/ archive published .idx byte-index sidecars for the 2022-11-29T18Z, 2022-11-30T00Z, and 2022-11-30T06Z init cycles whose byte offsets do not align with the GRIB message boundaries in the corresponding GRIB files; the byte-range download path trusts those offsets and the partial bytes returned are not valid GRIB. Direct inspection of the underlying GRIB files confirms the data is intact at the source — only the published index is wrong. We are attempting to have these fixed at the source and will backfill once that has happened. Affected timestamps for instant variables: 2022-11-29T20:00, 21:00; 2022-11-30T02:00, 05:00, 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 11:00 (8 per variable). Accumulated precipitation (precipitation_surface) has 12 additional 1-hour timestamps across the same window because deaccumulation also requires the adjacent leads. Visible in nulls_temperature_2m.png and every other nulls_<var>.png.
First timestamp of precipitation_surface (2021-05-01T00:00:00) is NaN at every spatial location. The analysis dataset derives accumulated precipitation by deaccumulating between adjacent GFS forecast leads, and there is no prior step before the dataset's start to deaccumulate against. This is expected; no other variable is affected. Visible in nulls_precipitation_surface.png.
