Beyond the forecast: The expansive role of community weather models

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, from predicting severe storms to understanding climate change and its potential impact on communities.

In her Explorer Series Lecture, NSF NCAR Scientist Kelly Werner will share the many ways community models are used by scientists around the world and delve into the power of collaboration. She will explore how scientists work together to make these models even more accurate and keep pace with ever-evolving technology.
