ABSTRACT

Jason Link – In April 2016 NOAA’s Research Council established the Unified Modeling Task Force (UMTF) as a cross-NOAA effort designed to develop a common framework for model interoperability and facilitate transdisciplinary collaborations among (and beyond) NOAA modelers, and to develop a unified modeling approach for the agency. The UMTF includes appointed members from all of NOAA’s Line Offices. It recently published a NOAA Technical Report defining an approach for unified modeling at NOAA, including key elements of unified modeling and high-priority recommendations.

This presentation will provide an overview of the Unified Modeling Task Force report, including main recommended actions: (1) Establish a Formal Body to Oversee Modeling (beyond the one-year mandate of the UMTF), (2) Establish a NOAA-Wide process for Information Exchange, (3) Procure Resources to Execute NOAA-Wide Modeling, (4) Define Best Practices in NOAA Modeling, (5) Establish Regular Review for Model Redundancy and Retention, (6) Make HPC More Accessible to all of NOAA. Next steps, recommended by the Research Council as a follow-up to the report, will also be outlined.
