This library provides an API to read the NCEP Spectral model surface files. This is part of the NCEPLIBS project.
The spectral model is on a sunset track at NCEP and is not being further developed but is still used for climate forecasts and ensemble forecasts. The NCEPLIBS-sfcio library was originally part of the GFS source code and was extracted to allow development of utilities that read GFS surface files.
This library is used by the UFS_UTILS project.

To submit bug reports, feature requests, or other code-related issues including installation and usage questions, please create a GitHub issue. For general NCEPLIBS inquiries, contact Edward Hartnett (secondary point of contact Alex Richert).
