Introduction

The Graphical Forecast Editor (GFE) is a grid-based editing system that provides various tools to forecasters that allow them to edit gridded fields of sensible weather elements. While this training guide describes most of the functionality within the GFE, it is not comprehensive. Its purpose is to familiarize users with GFE concepts and tools in order that they might use the GFE to generate gridded forecast products.

This training guide is divided into several sections. If you are new to the GFE , it is recommended that you follow the guide in the proper order, since terms and concepts learned in the beginning are used throughout the guide. This section is intended to get you familiar with the major components of the GFE. More detailed descriptions of each component can be found in subsequent sections.
