Covering the contiguous United States, the new Domestic Aviation Forecast System (DAFS) generates more detailed forecasts of evolving icing and turbulence risks, giving pilots real-time intelligence about changing weather conditions along their flight path. NSF NCAR researchers led the scientific development of the icing and turbulence capabilities for this system.

The WRF-Hydro® team, in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has completed a comprehensive retrospective analysis of water availability across the contiguous United States.

NSF NCAR is continuing to improve targeted forecasts of weather impacts on roads and runways

Kim Fewless will lead a project designed to bridge communities across UCAR, NSF NCAR, UCP, and university partners as well as engage with practitioners, policy makers, the private sector, and/or nongovernmental organizations, with a focus on water systems and their predictability.

Six researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) have been recognized with fellowships and awards from two prestigious Earth and space science organizations. 

As extreme heat continues to pose a growing threat to communities across the US, the NSF NCAR GIS Program recently hosted two events aimed at deepening understanding and strengthening response strategies.

Using satellite observations to evaluate forest recovery following a wildfire could be an innovative, cost-efficient way to assess the effectiveness of land management practices, according to research published earlier this year.
