The AWCI features the Water Cycle Integrator (WCI) as a means to combine observational data with data
from numerical weather prediction models, geographical information and socioeconomic data and then translate this data into usable information.
(4) The scientific community should explore the possibility of exploiting the sophisticated protocols that are now routinely used to ensure the quality control and consistency of the data ingested into
operational numerical weather prediction models, to improve the reliability of the data sets used to monitor global climate change.break
Dr. Nehrkorn's 30 year research tenure at AER has included work
on numerical weather prediction models, data assimilation systems, humidity to cloud relationships, three dimensional analysis of atmospheric quantities and studies of the angular momentum budget of the atmosphere.
The ECMWF provides its supercomputer - run Integrated Forecasting System, a world -
renowned numerical weather prediction model, as a basis for some Copernicus services, such as atmospheric forecasts and reanalysis data.

mesoscale numerical weather prediction models, Adv. Sci.
Apart from ground stations, weather forecasts are heavily dependent on weather satellites for information to start or «initialize»
the numerical weather prediction models that are the foundation of modern weather prediction.
The scientists applied this procedure to several 20th century surface temperature datasets, and also to late 20th century «reanalyses» that combine surface and satellite data with
a numerical weather prediction model to produce a best estimate of variations in atmospheric temperatures and winds.
Their prediction is based on the quantity of incoming solar radiation and uses 16 - day forecasts from
a numerical weather prediction model (WRF).
Meteorological observations from radiosondes are also applied to benchmark
the numerical weather prediction models used to forecast day - to - day weather.
This information is critical for
numerical weather prediction models; both in data assimilation, and in creating re-analyses.
This Group aims to provide a forum to bring together scientists working on observational or detailed theoretical or modelling studies of atmospheric radiation, microphysics, convection, and boundary layer and land surface properties including the development of physical parametrisations for climate and
numerical weather prediction models.
Our research group studies the meteorology and climate of both polar regions using regional climate models and
numerical weather prediction models.
