NOAA and NCAR to partner on computer modeling

The National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration are have formed a partnership in an effort to better computer modeling for weather and climate forecast systems.

The two organizations, which have locations in Boulder, signed a Memorandum of Agreement establishing a new state-of-the-art framework that would design common modeling infrastructure. The goal is to make a system that is transparent and is easy to access and use by public and private researchers. The two institutions hope that by creating shared model repositories and reducing the duplication they have, they will be able…
