About This Event
Have you ever wondered how meteorologists predict the weather? They use powerful computer models like the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model and the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS), which are super-simulators of the atmosphere. But these models are used far beyond daily forecasts! These community-driven models tackle a wide range of challenges such as predicting severe storms and its potential impact on communities. Watch and participate in this fascinating talk by Kelly Werner of the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR). NSF NCAR is a world-class research center leading, promoting and facilitating innovation in Earth system science to build national resilience and protect communities.
