Better Coordination of Federal Meteorological Activities Set to Improve Services to Nation
Federal Meteorological Activities Set to Improve Services

It is generally pretty hard to get excited about the nuances of government bureaucracies and how they may, or may not, coordinate activities across various Federal agencies. But a major change has been underway over the past two years related to how meteorological services are coordinated in the government and how they interact with the academic and private sectors, as well that has the potential to make a real difference. It represents the first major administrative restructuring of the U.S. meteorological services enterprise in over five decades, and it elevates meteorological services to the highest levels of government, including the White House.

Improving Forecasts With Uncrewed Aircraft Systems
Improving Forecasts With Uncrewed Aircraft Systems

An important key to improving weather forecasts, especially short-term forecasts on regional scales, is increasing the amount of observational data that can be assimilated into the computer forecast models. While remote sensing from satellite and radars continues to be enormously important, direct measurements from instruments such as those making up a weather station, called in-situ measurements, add great value.
