to accelerate innovation into operational modeling for weather and climate prediction.
What’s New?
The Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) and the Unified Forecast System (UFS) community are proud to announce the public release of the UFS Short-Range Weather (UFS SRW) Application version 2.1.0. This release is an update to the version 2.0.0 release from June 2022 and reflects a number of changes currently available at the head of the UFS SRW development branch. The Application is designed for short-range (up to two days) regional forecasts located anywhere on the globe. Read more about this update here

What is the UFS? The Unified Forecast System (UFS) is a community-based, coupled, comprehensive Earth modeling system. The UFS numerical applications span local to global domains and predictive time scales from sub-hourly analyses to seasonal predictions. UFS is designed to support the Weather Enterprise and to be the source system for NOAA’s operational numerical weather prediction applications. Read more about UFS.
