About EPIC
operational forecast modeling systems
EPIC will continually inform and accelerate advances in our nation’s operational forecast modeling systems.
The Unified Forecast System (UFS) Community is creating a new experience for scientists, joining forces for the benefit of life.
The EPIC Program and Virtual Center will deliver world-class numerical weather prediction systems supporting NOAA.
EPIC will provide comprehensive user support services to enable a broad and vibrant community of UFS users and developers. User support services will nurture a collaborative, community-based framework to support, advise and educate developers and software users.
Code Repository
EPIC oversees a robust repository infrastructure containing source code for each unique component of the UFS application.
User Forums
Teams staff a central communication forum to ensure access and usability by all community members, regardless of level of expertise.
Documentation
EPIC’s comprehensive code and science-based documentation will promote UFS usability among researchers, developers, and students.
The UFS Community and EPIC Program
NOAA is using a community modeling framework to develop their operational modeling systems. The Unified Forecast System (UFS) is composed of component systems – these could be model components or infrastructure components – and applications that connect some or more of these components together to make a computational model and bundle it with an end-to-end workflow.
News
