Description:

In December 2020, Congress charged the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Science Advisory Board (SAB) to publish a report that provides the information (including benefits) necessary to prioritize federal investments in Weather research and forecasting over the next decade. In response, the NOAA SAB launched the Priorities for Weather Research (PWR) study, which, through a broad consultative process, engaged over 150 subject matter experts from across the Weather Enterprise to develop a report that was then released in December 2021. Now, one year later, NOAA leadership will discuss its response to this report.
