UFS Users' Workshop

The first Unified Forecast System (UFS) Users’ Workshop took place on July 27-29, 2020 virtually, with the aim to establish an annual forum to exchange ideas, advance education on applying the UFS, and embrace the full potential of the community to support and help improve the UFS modeling and prediction system. It featured lively engagement and discussions with diverse groups of participants from across the Weather Enterprise including public and private sectors, academia, and those involved in operations, all of whom had a common interest in helping deliver the best forecasts to the public. The workshop is expected to improve communications, transparency, and mutual trust between operational centers and the broader community.
