I'm confused then, as all the info I've found shows the ECMWF runs twice per day, as does the UKMET. While the UKMET isn't designed for our area, it has been accurate enough to be included in the NHC predictions and has been mentioned several times on this forum for accuracy in the Gulf. I wasn't accurate about landfall, what I meant is the GFS has been stated as a model that is better for open ocean rather than areas bordered by land. It is a better flat surface model than a topology one.
UKMET has its utility and can perform better in some scenarios. GFS handles North America and the Atlantic very well. If you'd like, start a new forum and ask/tell as to which model is best or DM. Thanks.
