The WPO S2S Program and National Weather Service (NWS)/OSTI-Modeling invite you to join a monthly webinar series for Weeks 3-4 and S2S.
Upcoming Sessions at AMS
Town Hall: Interagency Long-term Research and Monitoring Program Plan on Hydroclimatological Changes in the Major Western US River Basins NOAA, in partnership with multiple agencies, is developing a joint research and monitoring program to improve the understanding of the hydroclimatological changes in the major river basins of the Western United States. The program will consider…
Upcoming Session at AGU
Don’t miss our upcoming sessions for: Prediction of Precipitation and Water Availability in the US West, S2S Metrics and Diagnostics, Emphasizing Coupling Processes, and Improving Subseasonal to Seasonal Predictions Through ESMF-NUOPC Coupled Modeling.
MJO and QBO Contributions to U.S. Precipitation Skill at S2S Leads
This project is working to improve modeling of US precipitation at longer time scales, by studying the impacts of MJO and QBO on precipitation events (and by extension, drought and water availability). Phenomena occurring in remote parts of the world and more layers of the atmosphere need to be properly incorporated into the NOAA modeling…

FY2020 Office of Weather and Air Quality Research Programs Announcement
NOAA’s Office of Weather and Air Quality (OWAQ) is soliciting proposals for weather, air quality, and earth-system modeling research reflecting multiple science objectives spanning time scales from hours to seasons, and from weather and water observations and earth system modeling to social and behavioral science. There are three grant competitions from this notification valued at…
OWAQ Social and Behavioral Science Research to Operations Workshop
NOAA’s Office of Weather and Air Quality will be holding a Social and Behavioral Science (SBS) Research to Operations workshop in Silver Spring, MD from September 4 – 6, 2019. The overall goal of the workshop it to foster lively and interactive discussion toward developing the how-to’s of transitioning different types of SBS finding and help build…
NOAA launches Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Experiment
The NOAA HWT Spring Forecasting Experiment is a yearly experiment that investigates the use of convection-allowing model forecasts as guidance for the prediction of hazardous convective weather. A variety of model output is examined and evaluated daily, and experimental forecasts are created and verified to test the applicability of cutting-edge tools in a simulated forecasting environment. The…
Improving Resilience to High-Impact Weather for Healthcare Facilities and Services
The American Meteorological Society (AMS) Policy Program conducted a workshop to explore ideas on increasing the resilience of healthcare facilities and services to high-impact weather events. In this report, which was funded in part by NOAA’s Office of Weather & Air Quality, a strategy was developed for improving resilience that first understands the risks one faces, then resolves the vulnerabilities of health facilities, and finally, prepares for the continuity of health services.
