Predecessor Organization
The National Meteorological Center (NMC), the direct precursor to NCEP, was formed in 1958 before being reorganized as NCEP in 1995. NMC began providing weather forecasting for the Northern Hemisphere before expanding to the entire globe, and conducted research to improve the accuracy of forecasts, to provide information in the most useful form, and to present data as automatically as practicable.
