EPIC’s UFS Application Support and Updates

The Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) has a long list of Unified Forecast System (UFS) applications that they currently support or are being released in the upcoming months. Short-Range Weather (SRW), Land with Data Assimilation (Land DA), and Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS) are all on the list of currently supported applications while Medium-Range Weather (MRW) will be added shortly. The EPIC team is working with the UFS community to drive innovation for these UFS applications through documentation, platform support, infrastructure as code, advanced user support, and co-chairing the release cross-cutting team to help define and deliver public releases. This presentation will go over the support that EPIC provides to the UFS community for the current UFS application suite, give an update on the newly added UFS application features, and how new or current users can get involved with the numerical modeling process.
