In response to the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and National Weather Service (NWS) bi-lateral meeting 2021, the WPO Forecasting A Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs) Program funded a project to assess the current program and plan for a future iteration of the program.
The Observations team is looking for reviewers for the Observations competition within the WPO’s FY23 Funding Opportunity.
This project implements an algorithm to estimate drift of the dropsondes in the data assimilation system of the operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting model.
Within the last decade, operational meteorologists have raised concerns that the availability of weather information from a variety of sources may contribute to a perception that weather risk messages are inconsistent and result in negative consequences among end users.
The primary objective of this project is to improve predictions of water levels caused by extratropical tide and storm surge within the the Global Extratropical Storm and Tide Operational Forecast System (Global ESTOFS), by developing improved meshes and directly incorporating baroclinic and hydrologic physics.
Forecasters at NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center (WPC) are responsible for producing Excessive Rainfall Outlooks, which brings awareness to the potential for flood-inducing rains up to three days in advance. However, the amount of rain that qualifies as “excessive” varies from region to region.
