While the EPIC program is in charge of tasks related to management and planning, scientific innovation, and other relevant projects, this contracting partner is responsible for software infrastructure and engineering, as well as user support services.

The goal of the UFS is to modernize and streamline NOAA’s operational modeling suite while accelerating the transition of scientific research into operations through a unified, community-driven Earth modeling system. “This partnership with Tomorrow.io is another key step in EPIC’s goal of advancing the UFS toward a fully coupled Earth System Model,” said Ken Graham, director, NOAA’s National Weather Service.
