The team's goals include: Development of methods for evaluating uncertainty of mesoscale meteorological model prediction; Improvement of statistical methods for dealing with uncertainty; Understanding how forecasters incorporate uncertainty in their forecasts; Development of methods of integration and visualization of multi-source information from model output, observations, and expert knowledge. The MURI Team is working with Navy personnel at the Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Facility (NPMOF), Whidbey Island, Washington. NPMOF provides operational forecasts to numerous military organizations located throughout the northwest region.
