Explore code, user support, documentation, and developer info for each Unified Forecast System (UFS) application, model, or component.
The SRW App targets predictions of atmospheric behavior on a limited spatial domain and on time scales from minutes to several days. Access user support, documentation, and developer info here!
The UFS WM is a prognostic model that can be used for short- and medium-range research and operational forecasts. It can be run in atmosphere-only mode or coupled with additional components, such as wave or ocean models.
The UPP software package generates useful products from raw model output. UPP output can be used directly by visualization, plotting, or verification packages and in further downstream post-processing (e.g., statistical post-processing).
The Land DA System is an offline version of the Noah Multi-Physics land surface model used in the UFS Weather Model. It uses JEDI DA software to apply the LETKF-OI algorithm for snow DA.
UW Tools help automate common tasks in standard numerical weather prediction (NWP) workflows. The uwtools software package also includes drivers to automate the configuration and execution of UFS components.
Stochastic physics is a component of the UFS Weather Model (WM) and contains a variety of stochastic schemes. The schemes add valuable scientific and numerical impact by addressing dynamical effects of unresolved scales in the UFS WM forecast system.
EPIC and the NOAA Artificial Intelligence for Numerical Weather Prediction Applications (AI4NWP) Working Group support a community-based, comprehensive Earth modeling system. NOAA’s operational model suite for numerical weather prediction (NWP) is quickly broadening to include artificial intelligence-based models.
