Unlocking a Treasure Trove of Aircraft Data
Research reveals direct measurements of wind and temperature from aircraft provide the highest valued inputs into Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models compared to weather balloon radiosondes, satellites, and ground-based, weather observing stations.
The 2023 Flash Flood and Intense Rainfall Experiment
The 10th Annual Flash Flood and Intense Rainfall (FFaIR) Experiment will be held in 2023. FFaIR is part of the Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) at the Weather Prediction Center (WPC). The FFaIR Experiment brings together researchers, forecasters, academia, and developers to evaluate, test, and use experimental guidance to aid in the prediction of heavy rainfall and…
Researchers and Forecasters Team Up to Improve Forecasts in the New Hurricane and Ocean Testbed
After a year and a half of concerted effort between NOAA’s National Hurricane Center (NHC), Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), and other NOAA offices, including the Weather Program Office, the Hurricane and Ocean Testbed (HOT) has been successfully re-named (from the Joint Hurricane Testbed) and re-launched in the newly designed William M. Lapenta Laboratory, named in…
Saildrones Track Hurricanes to Gather Data for Forecast Improvement
In partnership with NOAA, Saildrone Inc. is deploying seven ocean drones to collect data from hurricanes during the 2022 hurricane season with the goal of improving hurricane forecasting. For the first year, two saildrones will track hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. One of the biggest challenges to hurricane forecasting is predicting rapid intensification, when hurricane…
