The ECMWF is a European weather model. The GFS is the primary American weather model, which runs 4 times a day, rather than twice as the ECMWF.

The GFS is know for "flopping around" (changing its solution) often.

A large number of private meteorologists consider the EC far superior to the GFS, though I think that superiority may be somewhat overblown.
