Sec. 102 - NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) must conduct a program to improve understanding of forecasting capabilities and impacts of atmospheric events. In carrying out the program, the OAR must provide competitive grants, contracts, and agreements to support the nonfederal weather research community.
Agency overview; Formed: 1841; 184 years ago (): Headquarters: Silver Spring, Maryland, U.S. [1]: Motto: OAR's Vision is to deliver NOAA's future. OAR's Mission is to conduct research to understand and predict the Earth's oceans, weather and climate, to advance NOAA science, service and stewardship and transition the results so they are useful to society.
The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model [1] (/ ˈ w ɔːr f /) is a numerical weather prediction (NWP) system designed to serve both atmospheric research and operational forecasting needs. NWP refers to the simulation and prediction of the atmosphere with a computer model, and WRF is a set of software for this.
Joseph Cione, lead meteorologist for the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, holds a Streamsonde, developed by Finland-based Skyfora.
Climate Prediction Center monitors and forecasts short-term climate fluctuations and provides information on the effects climate patterns can have on the nation. Environmental Modeling Center develops and improves numerical weather, climate, hydrological and ocean prediction through a broad program in partnership with the research community.
AOML's research spans tropical cyclone and hurricanes, coastal ecosystems, oceans and human health, climate studies, global carbon systems, and ocean observations. It is one of seven NOAA Research Laboratories (RLs). [1] AOML’s organizational structure consists of an Office of the Director and three scientific research divisions.
Weather Act Reauthorization includes life-saving policies to provide the American people with the best forecasting information possible.
Weather Forecasting Improvement Act of 2013; Long title: To prioritize and redirect NOAA resources to a focused program of investment on near-term, affordable, and attainable advances in observational, computing, and modeling capabilities to deliver substantial improvement in weather forecasting and prediction of high impact weather events, such as tornadoes and hurricanes, and for other purposes.
