The Developmental Testbed Center (DTC), in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmopspheric Administration (NOAA) and the Unified Forecast System's Verification and Validation Cross-Cutting Team (UFS-V&V), held a three day workshop to identify key verification and validation metrics. The workshop was held remotely February 22-24, 2021.
The results of the workshop are the identification of key metrics for evaluation of UFS research products and will help guide decisions for the transition from research-to-operations. With the understanding that all UFS decisions affect a diverse set of users, the organizers of this workshop welcomed members from government, academic, and private sector organizations to participate in the workshop. In preparation for the Workshop, a series of pre-Workshop surveys were distributed to interested parties and are located on the Workshop site.
