History
MOS was developed by the National Weather Service for their suite of weather forecasting models by 1976. The United States Air Force developed their own set of MOS based upon their dynamical weather model, the NOGAPS, by 1983. This differs from the perfect prog technique, which assumes that the output of numerical weather prediction guidance is perfect.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
