Can someone tell me the advantages/disadvantages of the following numerical
weather models in terms of weather forecasting?

ETA
MRF
MOS
NOGAPS
GEM

MOS is not a model. It stands for Model Output Statistics.
MOS is forecast guidance produced from the NGM and GFS
models. It is produced with multivariate linear regression
of model output parameters and cranks out temp and precip
forecasts. Works well in benign conditions. Works less
well around weather systems.


That's handy.
