The Regional Climate Science for Adaptation (RC4A) Project uses climate science across time scales from weather to climate as well as spatial scales from global to local.

The process of forecast verification/evaluation is often an unseen partner in engineering and scientific advances. Verification provides systematic and objective evaluation of the quality (or performance) of a forecasting system. In turn, this process allows fair comparisons to be made between forecasting systems.

High-resolution, short-term forecasts of thunderstorms provide critical information for a wide range of users, including the aviation community, ground transportation, urban emergency and water resources management groups, recreation facilities, construction industries, and the military, that assists them to safely and efficiently deploy resources.  However, achieving reliable and accurate
