The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is a state of the art mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed for both atmospheric research and operational forecasting applications. It features two dynamical cores, a data assimilation system, and a software architecture supporting parallel computation and system extensibility.

WRF-Fire is based on NSF NCAR’s Coupled Atmosphere-Wildland Fire Environment (CAWFE) model. It utilizes nesting to predict wildland fire spread through a high-resolution, large-eddy simulation approach.

Logos. All subgroups within NSF NCAR and UCAR, including UCAR’s community programs, should use one of the approved logos as their primary visual identifier. The use of a common icon, typeface, and layout relates all of our organization’s diverse groups to one another.

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model Data Assimilation system supports traditional three-dimensional and four-dimensional variational approaches, as well as ensemble-based variational schemes, and is largely tailored to WRF.

Nov 28, 2023 · The Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology (MMM) Laboratory at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has led the development and support of WRF-ARW to the community since its inception in the late 1990s.
