Community development of the Unified Forecast System (UFS) requires a shared community modeling infrastructure framework, whereby the entire modeling suite (components and applications) follows a collaborative development paradigm.
The Weather Program Office (WPO) is soliciting proposals for four grant competitions valued at approximately $13.5 million per year for the following competitions.
The Weather Program Office is working with the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University (CSU) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to advance the forecast capabilities of the Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS) through the testing and implementation of stochastic physics configurations.
EPIC is presenting at the AGU Fall Meeting in Chicago, December 12 – 16, 2022.
Abstracts are being accepted for the Second Symposium on Community Modeling and Innovation hosted at the American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting, January 8-12, 2023.
Join the EPIC team on Friday, September 9, 2022 for a virtual day-long series of presentations designed to help new users configure and set up the Short Range Weather Application!
The EPIC team and NOAA are hosting a week long virtual hackathon for anyone to join, regardless of your experience so anyone is welcome!
The fire behavior model will largely increase the UFS’s potential to carry out fundamental fire research, provide predictions of the fire evolution, and improve fire weather forecast information.
The Weather Program Office is working with Northeastern University and George Mason University to enhance the high resolution forecasting capability of the National Air Quality Forecast Capability (NAQFC) based on the inline Rapid-Refresh Forecast System (RRFS)- Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model system.
Use of Novel Satellite Data and In-Canopy Processes to Improve U.S. Air Quality Predictions. PI Name & Contact: Patrick Campbell (pcampbe8@gmu.edu; patrick.c.campbell@noaa.gov). The Weather Program Office is working with George Mason University to advance the next-generation Rapid-Refresh Forecast System (RRFS)-Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model beyond its “Big-Leaf” canopy approximation by using forest canopy processes…
