Inside a weather modeling system: What can go wrong?
Born alongside the computer in the 1950s, weather models have continuously evolved to safeguard lives. Forecasters rely on these intricate simulations to predict hazards, while researchers use them to untangle the complexities of weather. Yet, even with immense computing power, perfect forecasts remain elusive. In this Explorer Series Lecture, NSF NCAR scientist Dr. May Wong will discuss what goes into a numerical weather prediction modeling system and how scientists work towards improving the models as we enter a world where being able to plan for more extreme weather conditions is more important than ever. —
