The weather enterprise continues to rally around the need for increased community engagement between public and private sectors based on our collective effort to restore and maintain U.S. leadership in weather prediction and forecasting according to the Weather Act of 2017. NOAA will host a town hall meeting between the research and operational communities as a follow on to the Building a Weather Ready Nation by Transitioning Academic Research to NOAA Operations Workshop back in November 2017. In order to achieve our goal of U.S. leadership in earth system modeling, NOAA must continuously engage the community by providing updates on the current status and future needs for improving the research to operation (R2O) process while underpinning this process with proven social science. It’s important that the weather enterprise continues to evolve and that together we find methods and practices that increasingly support improvements in U.S. weather modeling through community efforts.
