UFS Community and UFS-R2O Project Highlights at the Fall 2020 AGU Meeting
The Fall 2020 meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) starts tomorrow, December 1st, 2020, featuring many presentations related to the Unified Forecast System (UFS). Talks, posters, and town halls representing UFS Community members’ works describe new hurricane, marine, coastal, and coupled models, verification and validation approaches, physics parameterizations, and forecast products. Here are some […]
Highlights of the 2020 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Washington Forum
In late October, over 200 people across the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise and beyond came together, via a virtual setting, for the 2020 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Washington Forum. This year, the annual conference traditionally held every April brought together the Weather Enterprise’s three sectors — government, industry, and academia — to share and […]
Development of Data Assimilation and Ensemble Forecasting Capabilities for Rapid Refresh Forecast System at CAPS
Presenter: Ming Xue, Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS) and School of Meteorology, University of Oklahoma
UFS Code now supports fully coupled model and data-atmosphere application
The UFS-weather-model repository has been updated to support the fully coupled model and the data atmosphere application. With this update, the ufs-weather-model now has the same capability as the ufs-s2s-model repository. So the ufs-s2s-model and datm-mom6-cice5 repositories have been frozen. Key features The ufs-weather-model now builds coupled (atmosphere, wave, ocean, ice) or atmosphere-only system, The […]
