Special Session: The UFS-R2O Project: Advancing NOAA’s Unified Forecast System [UFS] as a Collaborative Community-Based Modeling System for Research and Operations: Part I

Location: 341 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Funded jointly by NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) Office of Science and Technology Integration (OSTI) and the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Weather Program Office (WPO), the UFS-R2O Project has made significant progress since its inception in July 2020, coordinating a large community of researchers, both inside and outside NOAA, for integrating new research into the operational UFS applications.
The UFS-R2O Project was conceived with a focus on leveraging the nascent UFS community to build new UFS applications that will replace several existing operational modeling systems and simplify the NCEP Production Suite (NPS). The project consists of four integrated teams covering the global Medium Range Weather and Subseasonal (MRW/SubX); the Seasonal (SFS), the regional Short Range Weather/Convection Allowing Modeling (SRW/CAM); and the Hurricane applications, and are supported by seven cross-cutting development teams.

This Special Session on UFS-R2O Project is aimed at providing highlights and the outcomes of the UFS R2O Project thus far, with emphasis on accomplishments and future plans from the UFS Application Teams and Development Teams, community engagement and collaborative environment, and plans for the future. We also seek to make the collaboration even more productive and bring in new team members from the UFS community to contribute to the improvement of the nation’s operational prediction systems for the benefit of all of us.

Advancing Hazards Forecasting and Decision Support through NOAA Testbeds and Proving Grounds I

Location: 343 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The NOAA Testbeds and Proving Grounds (TBPGs) are cross-NOAA networks that are crucial for transitioning research on hazards forecasting and risk communication into operations at NOAA. TBPGs are working relationships for developmental testing, in a quasi-operational framework among researchers and operational scientists /experts (measurement specialists, forecasters, IT specialists, social scientists, etc.) including partners in academia, the private sector and government agencies, aimed at solving operational problems or enhancing operations, all in the context of user needs. TBPGs have four major roles. First, they are devoted to testing, evaluating, and refining the emerging probabilistic innovations that are at the forefront of forecasting a continuum of environmental threats. Second, they design and develop products to communicate risk in order to advance actionable outlooks, watches, and warnings. This includes translating hazards into impacts, optimizing watches/warnings, and facilitating social science studies to understand how these products are interpreted. Third, they put innovations in front of NOAA forecasters and users, including emergency managers and broadcast meteorologists, to introduce them to new products and get feedback on their development. Finally, they provide feedback from operations and testing into research and research priorities. Testing and evaluation are iterative, with innovations often going through several rounds of testing and refinement in experiments.

This session will include presentations from facilitators, researchers, and developers in TBPG activities across a range of hazards, and across the four types of testbed roles, including the testing and evaluation of advanced modeling, data assimilation, science and product development to advance forecasting and communication of those hazards. These hazards include, but are not limited to, aviation, fire and space weather, heavy precipitation, heat, winter storms, severe storms and tornadoes, hurricanes, hazards in the Arctic and Alaska, and coastal and ocean hazards.

Ultimately these innovations in weather, water, and climate applications are available for use by decision makers and other end users and the public for societal benefits. This session will illustrate the roles and efforts of TBPGs to conduct testing and evaluation to enable and accelerate the transition of innovations to NOAA operations, including products and services on environmental hazards at the National Weather Service, National Ocean Service, and the National Environmental Satellite and Data Information Service.

Exploring Transition Practices Across the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise: Panel Discussion [Panelists Invited]

Location: 219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

As a science-based services and stewardship organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is committed to fulfilling its mission by continuously enhancing its products and services. While research findings have broad benefits, research value comes from real-world application, specifically when practitioners turn knowledge into action.
To bridge the gap between research and practice, NOAA has developed and refined a suite of policies, processes, and pipelines (e.g., testbeds) to facilitate and monitor research and development. While NOAA has recently made considerable efforts to share information about their transition process through various outreach and engagement opportunities with the weather community, less is known about how other members of the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise transition research knowledge to practice within their respective organizations. Therefore, this session aims to bring together various expert groups to foster a deeper understanding of their unique strategies for transitioning research knowledge into their day-to-day operations.
Invited presentations from representatives in NOAA, broadcast meteorology, emergency management, private sector companies, other government agencies, and potentially practitioners from other sectors will provide attendees diverse perspectives on the variety of transition processes. These presentations and a subsequent short panel discussion will offer valuable insights into the unique approaches, challenges, and successes encountered by different stakeholders in moving research knowledge into practical applications within their respective sectors.
By learning from each other's experiences and practices, attendees will have the opportunity to strengthen their own transition processes and obtain insights into how various expert groups transition research to practice. This knowledge exchange not only fosters learning but also aims to equip physical and social science researchers with the skills to develop outputs that seamlessly integrate into practitioner workspaces, ultimately amplifying the impact of research within the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise. Don't miss this valuable opportunity to broaden your understanding, and exchange ideas, on transitioning research into professional spaces across diverse sectors in our Weather, Water and Climate community.

Journeys from ‘R’ to ‘X’: Leveraging NOAA Lab Research Transition Successes to Reshape and Accelerate the R2X Process

Location: 219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Transitioning research to use, or R2X, is a foundational practice at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Documentation and acceleration of R2X through transition plans is becoming the standard, particularly since being implemented into NOAA policy. In fact, NOAA’s FY22-26 Strategic Plan identifies this as a priority: “ …NOAA will accelerate and facilitate the transition of research and development to operations, applications, commercialization and other uses.” Yet, even with guidance established and thoroughly documented, confusion about transition plans persists, often being perceived as daunting, and sometimes resulting in a challenging process.
This session will showcase R2X practitioners from diverse Laboratories across NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) that will provide real world examples of impactful research transitions with the aim of highlighting strategies that proved successful for their work, and how they improved their approaches to transition planning going forward.
Examples will span the R2X spectrum to cover a broad range of research such as the assimilation of uncrewed systems (UxS) observations into NOAA weather models, patenting NOAA inventions, and more. Panelists will discuss the different transitions they have encountered, such as operational and commercialization. They will also talk about R&D outputs including software, hardware, products, processes and/or knowledge transfer, how they were documented in transition plans, and the associated benefits with each.

NOAA Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP): Advancing Hurricane Modeling, Analysis, Forecasting, and Risk Communication for a Diverse World: Part I

Location: 343 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

NOAA’s Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP) was created in 2009 with the vision of organizing the hurricane community to dramatically improve numerical forecast guidance to the National Hurricane Center. Since HFIP’s inception in 2009, model hurricane track and intensity forecast errors were reduced by 50% and 56%, respectively, and intensity errors during Rapidly Intensifying storms were reduced by 47%. The Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) became world-class (2014).
In 2017, Congress passed the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act including Section 104. Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program, instructing NOAA to maintain a project to improve hurricane forecasting to develop and extend accurate hurricane forecasts and warnings to reduce loss of life, injury, and damage to the economy, with a focus on improving the prediction of rapid intensification and track of hurricanes; improving the forecast and communication of surges from hurricanes; and incorporating risk communication research to create more effective watch and warning products. Under the updated plan, HFIP will continue to address the original goals of further reducing track and intensity forecast errors and extend forecasts out to 7 days, particularly focusing on rapid intensification guidance. In addition, the updated plan extends HFIP’s purview to improving guidance on predicting storm structure and all hurricane hazards (surge, rain, associated severe weather, gusts as well as sustained winds) at actionable lead times for emergency managers (e.g., 72 hours). Improved hazard guidance will derive from dynamical model ensembles enabling probabilistic hazard products and improved track, intensity change, and structure (radii to maximum and 35-knot winds) predictions before formation and throughout the storm’s life cycle. Using social science research, HFIP will design a more effective tropical cyclone product suite to communicate risk better and transition all current tropical hazards products. The Hurricane Analysis and Forecasting System (HAFS) was created to address these goals.

As in the past AMS R2O meetings, we expect 4-5 HFIP sessions (with 30-50 presentations/posters) dealing with numerical modeling, inner-core DA techniques, basic research of modeled TCs, understanding RI of TCs, Ensembles, probabilistic products and risk communication, especially using NOAA models: HWRF, Session Chairs: Sundararaman Gopalakrishnan (NOAA/AOML) and Aaron Poyer (NOAA/NWS)HAFS, GFS, GEFS, etc.

Calibration/Validation for Environmental Remote Sensing, Numerical Weather Prediction, and Climate Change Detection I

Location: 213 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Calibration/Validation and Verification are essential parts of data quality assurance and is critically important for operational radiance assimilation in numerical weather prediction (NWP), climate change detection, generation of all environmental data records, and retrieval continuity across multiple overlapping sensor records, including atmospheric soundings, aerosols, fire, trace gas, cloud, sea surface temperature, ocean color, land, vegetation, and cryosphere. For example, understanding the error characteristics of satellite observations and reconciling the biases are important for data assimilation in NWP models; interpreting the small changes in the time series of temperature, trace gas, aerosols, ocean color, and other products depends on the stability of the underlining reprocessed fundamental data records; analysis of the trend of global climate change highly relies on the assumption that the data used are extremely stable and accurate. As more small satellites are launched into space with new technologies in passive and active sensors providing an unprecedented, large volume of data and covering almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum, data consistency, latency, usability, and sustainability may become challenges for operational forecasters, who need to become prepared to expand the algorithms and skills to take full advantages of the new observations. This session will highlight ongoing calibration and validation research that will aid the operational use of the data to explore opportunities and meet challenges of the evolving multitude of Earth and atmospheric observations from satellites, in-situ, and other platforms in the coming years to benefit the society.

The Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) was created in response to the congressional charge to accelerate the development of the U.S. capacity to make early, accurate, and effectively communicated environmental predictions. It is designed to support, sustain, and foster the collaborative work being done by the participating members of the Unified Forecast System (UFS). EPIC is designed to be the catalyst for community research and modeling advances that continually inform and accelerate advances in our nation’s operational forecast modeling systems. Additionally, EPIC ensures that NOAA’s operational needs and the research and development community are supported by an effective research to operations to research (R2O2R) process resulting in improved numerical weather prediction (NWP) capacity and a more streamlined R2O2R process. EPIC will meet this goal by improving accessibility and usability of the UFS for community members.

This special session on the Earth Prediction Innovation Center to Accelerate Community-Developed Scientific and Technological Enhancements into the Operational Applications for Numerical Weather Prediction, Joint between the Second Symposium on Earth Prediction Innovation and Community Modeling and the 13th Conference on Transition of Research to Operations, is aimed at providing highlights on the accomplishments thus far, and how EPIC is enabling and extending infrastructure and user support for the UFS to fully coupled Earth system prediction, transforming the operational suite of models into one modeling system.

NOAA's S2S Applications: Stakeholder Needs, Modeling Systems and Analysis

Location: 219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Under the Unified Forecast System (UFS) Research to Operation Project (UFS R2O), a global coupled UFS has been built with six components of the Earth system: the FV3 dynamical core (atmosphere), MOM6 (ocean), CICE6 (sea ice), Noah-MP (land surface), GOCART (aerosols), and WW3 (ocean surface waves). The global coupled UFS is used as the basis for developing the Global Forecast System (GFS v17) for medium-range (deterministic) weather forecast up to 16 days, and the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS v13) for subseasonal forecasts up to 48 days, both of which target to be implemented around FY26.
The congressional appropriation in FY23 instructed NOAA to develop a new Seasonal Forecast System (SFSv1) as a replacement of the more than decade-old Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2). The SFSv1 will build upon and extend the capabilities of the subseasonal Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFSv13). Accurate SFS prediction requires improved physical descriptions of slowly changing processes on the land, in the oceans, for sea ice, and for atmospheric composition. Data assimilation improvements are also required to improve initial states for the land, ocean and sea ice that provide the long-term memory of the Earth System.

In this session, we seek to foster enhanced collaboration among model developers, users/stakeholders and researchers for the advancement of NOAA’s S2S Applications (GEFS and SFS). We encourage abstracts on all aspects of NOAA’s S2S Applications that includes feedback and requirements of stakeholders/users, scientific advancements in the Earth system components such as MOM6, CICE6, Noah-MP, Atmospheric Compositions, advancements in infrastructure that facilitate R2O and O2R, process-level understanding of model errors, verification and validation metrics, and common errors in North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) forecast systems. Use of AI methods to diagnose model errors and to improve modeling systems are also encouraged.
