Engaging the Forecast Community in UFS Model Development
By Jamese Sims, Dorothy Koch, Hendrik Tolman, and Deepthi Achuthavarier With the advent of the Unified Forecast System (UFS), the operational model development at the National Weather Service (NWS) is becoming increasingly a collective effort that includes contributions from multiple NOAA labs, national agencies and university research groups. In this context, the UFS community as […]
Celebrating the First Anniversary of the UFS R2O Project!
By Jeff Whitaker, Jim Kinter and Vijay Tallapragada Flash back to late 2019 — the Unified Forecast System (UFS) concept was finally coming to fruition. A new, open-source, community-based Earth-modeling system is being established that will form the basis for NOAA’s operational prediction systems for decades to come. Sounds wonderful, right? But wait — how […]
