NOAA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) on Dec. 10, 2024, building upon its existing partnership with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). WPO led the development of the newest MOU on behalf of NOAA’s Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and will serve as the host office.…
Applications are open for the second cohort of the WINGS Ph.D. Dissertation fellowship, hosted by NOAA’s Weather Program Office and UCAR’s Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS), and is designed for PhD candidates to focus their dissertation research on an area of scientific importance for the broader Weather, Water and Climate…
FREE Virtual Training Workshops are being held July 24-26 during UIFCW23. Help advance the Unified Forecast System (UFS) through EPIC’s hands-on workshops and accelerate weather modeling and innovations through open science.
The Airborne Phased Array Radar (APAR) will be the world’s first phased array C-band, dual-Doppler, dual-polarization radar. WPO helped fund the initial research and development of APAR which received $91.8 million in June from the National Science Foundation.
UCAR | CPAESS and NOAA’s Weather Program Office are excited to welcome the inaugural class of the Weather Program Office (WPO) Innovation for Next Generation Scientists (WINGS) Dissertation Fellowship of 2023-2024.
The 5-day workshop will engage the greater Weather Enterprise in the ongoing effort to accelerate contributions to the Unified Forecast System.
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.
TWC’s “Weather Geeks,” a weekly program hosted by Dr. J. Marshall Shepherd (Director of the University of Georgia’s Atmospheric Sciences Program and 2013 AMS President), airs on Sundays at noon on the popular cable affiliate. The show serves as a forum for experts to discuss the most pressing issues and current hot topics of the weather community.
