Operational Meteorology in the Future
Scientists at the National Severe Storms Laboratory
are involved in research to address the future needs and directions of
operational meteorology. Research into the applicability and practical uses
of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, the use of new techniques for
forecasting, and the development of methods to assist in warning for hazardous
weather are all important aspects of this work. Since many of the staff
members have experience in operations, in experimental forecasting, and in
collaborative research with operational forecasters, NSSL represents a unique
interface between the research and operations community. Here, we provide links
to much of NSSL scientists' work and thoughts relating to operational forecasting in the
21st Century.
