Weather Research and Forecasting Program

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Program is a collaborative effort to develop advanced computer models that predict weather patterns with greater accuracy. It provides scientists and meteorologists with sophisticated tools to simulate atmospheric conditions, improve forecast reliability, and understand climate processes. WRF supports research for various weather-related applications, including severe storms, aviation, and climate studies. By enhancing our ability to forecast weather more precisely and quickly, the program helps protect communities, optimize industries, and advance scientific knowledge about the Earth's atmosphere.
