UFS MEDIUM-RANGE WEATHER APPLICATION 1.0

Projected Release Timeline

The target dates listed below are subject to change.

  • The UFS weather model does not include a workflow, pre-processing, or post-processing. This model is used in multiple applications, with different workflows.
  • The UFS medium-range weather application includes a workflow specific to that type of forecast, although this first release excludes data assimilation. It relies on the readiness of the UFS weather model, pre-processing, post-processing, and workflow software.
*End of the initial feedback collection period. Follow-up may continue past the end date.
