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. Researchers are testing various configurations within an FV3-Limited Area Model (LAM) ensemble in order to deliver an optimal stochastic physics configuration for implementation in RRFS-based ensembles during the Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Forecast Experiment (HWT-SFE) for real-time evaluation as part of the Community Leveraged Unified Ensemble (CLUE).
