Unified Forecast System
Earth Prediction Innovation Center

Research to Operations Project

The success of the Unified Forecast System (UFS) depends on the communities of researchers and users in both the public and private sectors. This requires that the forecast goals and development needs of the UFS be documented and provided to the research community (operations to research, O2R). It is also necessary to provide the pathway for community research to contribute to the operational forecast models (research to operations, R2O).
