January 24, 2017 - 8:00amRecent upgrades to the NCAR’s Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) community model have provided an appropriate numerical weather prediction framework for solar power forecasting. The augmentations introduced into WRF to create WRF-Solar™ have focused on improving the representation of the cloud-aerosol-radiation system (Jimenez et al. 2016a).
January 12, 2017 - 2:00pmAs far as the potential drones have, the sky’s the limit. Well, up to 400 feet, that is.
RAL is interested in understanding the full range of potential weather impacts on various classes of UAS, prioritizing those impacts, and learning how to mitigate those impacts using improved weather sensing and forecasting techniques.- Bruce Carmichael, Director, NCAR’s Aviation Applications Program
NCAR hydrologist Martyn Clark named AGU fellow; his research includes developing new modeling methods for streamflow forecasts.
At century's end, the number of summertime storms that produce extreme downpours could increase by more than 400 percent across parts of the United States.
Scientists are partnering with Kenyan schools to bring critically needed weather observations to the country.
November 14, 2016 - 2:00pmThe American Geophysical Union (AGU) has named Martyn Clark an AGU Fellow. This special honor is given to individual AGU members who have made “exceptional scientific contributions and gained prominence in their respective fields of Earth and space sciences.” Since the AGU Fellows program was established in 1962, no more than 0.01 percent of the total membership of AGU is recognized annually.
