The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $794,633 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Washington to develop next-generation atmospheric physics, dynamical core, and/or component models and systems for the Unified Forecast System (UFS). The purpose is to address warm rain biases in the UFS by modifying the Thomson-Eidhammer parameterization to simulate warm rain more accurately. The work aims to improve the skill and efficiency of the coupled forecast system, especially over regions like Alaska and Hawaii. The award period is from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025 under the CFDA program titled "Weather and Air Quality Research."
