The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $900,000 project grant to George Mason University under the Weather and Air Quality Research program to develop a global land and hydrology modeling system. The three-year project will extend an existing high-resolution hydrologically-enhanced land modeling system globally. This will directly build upon prior work connecting NOAA's National Water Model configuration of NOAHMP/WRF-Hydro with the Unified Forecast System and assessing...
This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under its Weather and Air Quality Research program (CFDA 11.459) provides $249,555 to George Mason University to conduct research and development to improve the physical parameterization of coupling between wildland fires, atmospheric boundary-layer turbulence, and vegetation structure within NOAA's Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS). The goal is to enhance wildfire and fire weather prediction...
