Without proper care, valuable data can be lost or stored with questionable quality. This plan ensures long-term integrity, discoverability, and accessibility of all NCAS-M data products. NCAS-M participants include […]

Innovative observations for advancing climate, weather, and air quality analysis and prediction

NCAS-M seeks to support research and applications that take greater advantage of novel and traditional environmental observations, particularly those that close observational gaps in the NOAA operational networks that limit WRN forecast metrics. For instance, NCAS-M conducts field campaigns (e.g., NOAA/AEROSE, CSC/Joint Collaboration Project), surface and upper air observations from suburban (HU Beltsville campus) and […]

Interdisciplinary scientific research to support modeling and forecasting activities for building community resilience against extreme weather, water, atmospheric, and climate events

NCAS-M faculty and students will continue to collaborate with NOAA researchers and stakeholders to perform timely and usable research designed to directly support the following WRN strategic plans: “Reduce the impacts of weather, water, and climate events by transforming the way people receive, understand, and act on information.” Research under this theme will be interdisciplinary […]

Integrated research in support of building public safety through impact-based Decision Support Services (IDSS)

NCAS-M will pursue collaborative and interdisciplinary research to support the WRN/IDSS objectives on improving forecast advice and interpretative services that NWS provides to help core partners, such as emergency personnel and public safety officials make decisions when weather, water, and climate impact the lives and livelihoods of the American people. NCAS-M Social, Behavioral, and Economic […]
