U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters assess and communicate hazardous weather risks, including the likelihood of a threat and its impacts. Convection-allowing model (CAM) ensembles offer potential to aid forecasting by depicting atmospheric outcomes, including associated uncertainties, at the refined space and time scales at which haz...

NOAA Fire Weather Testbed Launches First In-Person Evaluation
To enhance impact-based decision support services to core partners before, during, and following wildland fires, an operations-to-research-to-operations testbed utilizing both physical and social science perspectives is needed. In response, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established the Fire Weather Testbed (FWT) at N...
