FY20 HFIP Competition: Awardees - OSTI Modeling
Research proposals to advance NGGPS with the FV3 dynamical core will focus on accelerating coupled model development to improve forecast accuracy. This includes coupling among the weather prediction model components (atmosphere, ocean, land surface and ice system), advancing data assimilation and ensemble techniques, and developing post-processing forecast tools and improving deterministic forecast skill by improving computational efficiency (see details in NOAA-NWS-NWSPO-2020-2006290).
For the HFIP competition, 3 proposals were awarded with individual award amounts ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 per year for up to two years. Project start date is September 1, 2020. Details of the projects are summarized in the table below.
