In recognition of the Year of Open Science, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and EPIC (Earth Prediction Innovation Center) have been featured on Open.Science.gov for the collaborative and open science work on the Unified Forecast System (UFS).
DetailsThe 5-day workshop will engage the greater Weather Enterprise in the ongoing effort to accelerate contributions to the Unified Forecast System.
DetailsHow do different racial and socioeconomic groups in the United States receive, understand, and respond to severe weather information? A new study by three NOAA scientists and a member of the Coast Guard takes a look at the demographics of severe weather communication.
DetailsThis two-day hybrid workshop will be hosted out of the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction in College Park, MD. Day 1 activities will provide a historical perspective on the NMME and highlight existing use/needs cases. Day 2 participants will delve into how the NMME fits into the research community and collaboratively set the future for NMME to explore unmet needs.
DetailsOver the last several years, Russ Schumacher, professor in the Department of Atmospheric Science and Colorado State Climatologist, has led a team developing a sophisticated machine learning model for advancing skillful prediction of hazardous weather across the continental United States. First trained on historical records of excessive rainfall, the model is now smart enough to make accurate predictions of events like tornadoes and hail four to eight days in advance – the crucial sweet spot for forecasters to get information out to the public so they can prepare. The model is called CSU-MLP, or Colorado State University-Machine Learning Probabilities.
DetailsWatch the video on NOAA’s Ocean Today > Transcript The most fascinating thing about hurricanes, to me, is how the atmosphere and ocean work together to form these massive storms that can cause such great destruction. What got me interested in hurricanes was 1999 Hurricane Floyd, powerful enough to actually knock a tree down, which…
