Numerical Weather Prediction and Earth System Prediction to Better Understand Sea Level Rise/Coastal Issues as They Affect Readiness

Abstract

The National Unified Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC) is a joint effort between NOAA and DoD to improve collaboration and accelerate operational numerical weather prediction. The Earth System Prediction Capability (ESPC) expands this collaboration to prediction of the physical earth system, expands required predictive capability to the decadal scale, and expands collaboration to include DOC, DoD, DOE and NASA. Both efforts seek to create partnerships, standardize numerical prediction practices in order to accelerate model development and achieve developmental and operational efficiencies for the next generation of systems. Coordination among the agencies will impact broad areas of environmental research and development and end users through standardized model architecture, establishment of common research requirements, and improved capability. This presentation will review the mission needs of the agencies in the various time scales discuss the overall programs, progress to date, areas of focused funding, and future plans.
