Abstract:
The Next Generation Global Prediction System (NGGPS) Project is an NWS
initiative for designing/developing/implementing a non-hydrostatic
global modeling system into operations with the goal of providing
world's best global operational forecast guidance. Other objectives
include accelerating development of advanced physics and data
assimilation techniques and position NWS for next generation high
performance computing. The Dycore Test Group (DTG) was established with
a dedicated team of scientists comprising of various candidate modeling
groups and three independent consultants for making recommendations for
the selection of non-hydrostatic dynamic core. This presentation will
summarize the findings of various tests conducted by DTG and it's
assessment of results obtained thus far, and next steps associated with
the decision making process.
