Bridging the gap between short-term weather and long-term climate predictions has remained challenging for scientists, but public demand and promising research has focused NOAA’s attention on this prediction problem. In an effort to further progress, researchers from universities, NOAA and other labs and centers will meet to highlight recent efforts to develop skillful predictions for the subseasonal to seasonal timescale.

Predicting the weather 3 to 4 weeks from now is extremely challenging, yet many critical decisions affecting communities and economies must be made at this lead time. However, model forecasts available for the first time this week could help NOAA’s operational Climate Prediction Center significantly improve its week 3-4 temperature and precipitation outlooks for the U.S.
Newly released model forecasts could help advance NOAA’s week 3-4 outlooks Read More »
Two primary NOAA weather and climate modeling programs hosted a joint meeting to support efforts towards a more unified and improved modeling approach for NOAA through reduced costs, optimized resources, and integrated community efforts.
