WRF PUBLIC INFORMATION HOME PAGE
The WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) Modeling System development project is a multi-year
project being undertaken by several agencies.
- NCAR
- The National Center for Atmospheric Research is charged with conducting basic research in the atmospheric sciences.
This group provides expertise in the dynamics and physics of the code.
- FSL
- The Forecast Systems Laboratory in NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) integrates research
efforts into operational activities. They lead efforts primarily in model initialization and physic parameterizations.
- OU
- The University of Oklahoma CAPS (Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms) provides cutting edge use of
instrumentation for very fine scale, short range severe storm forecasts. The CAPS expertise lies in radar
assimilation, model testing and verification, and model physics.
- NCEP
- The National Centers for Environmental Prediction provide the operational support for the civilian weather prediction
for the US. This group is reponsible for the final deployment of the WRF model as an operational system.
- AFWA
- The USAF Air Force Weather Agency delivers tens of thousands of weather related products daily for their
operational theaters in support of their charge to provide comprehensive forecast information to the US Air Force.
This group will establish an early testbed for all aspects of the WRF modeling system.
