By Jeff Whitaker, Jim Kinter and Vijay Tallapragada Flash back to late 2019 — the Unified Forecast System (UFS) concept was finally coming to fruition. A new, open-source, community-based Earth-modeling system is being established that will form the basis for NOAA’s operational prediction systems for decades to come. Sounds wonderful, right? But wait — how […]

The Unified Forecast System (UFS) is a community-based, coupled, comprehensive Earth modeling system. The UFS numerical applications span local to global domains and predictive time scales from sub-hourly analyses to seasonal predictions. It is designed to support the Weather Enterprise and to be the source system for NOAA’s operational numerical weather prediction applications.
