We are pleased to announce the release of the FastEddy® 3.0, a groundbreaking, open source GPU-based model for numerical modeling of complex microscale flows.

This coupled model will allow NOAA to forecast the growth and direction of burning wildland fires. Knowing the location of active fires from satellite retrievals, this information, together with the new UFS capability (SRW v3.0.0), gives NOAA the ability to provide timely and accurate fire weather, fire behavior, and smoke-forecast guidance to safeguard lives and property and manage downstream air-quality impacts.

Scientists have begun the fight from the research side. Knowing when a fire is likely, how fast it will burn, and how far and where it will spread will go a long way toward protecting property and lives. 

The WRF-Hydro® team has kicked off a new project to couple the WRF-Hydro routing modules to NSF NCAR's Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS). 

Pleased to announce the release of the WRF-Hydro® Modeling System, version 5.4!
