Collaborative Research between the National Weather Service and North Carolina State University



    WFO Raleigh Collaborative Research - A Five Step Process

    For many years, the National Weather Service in Raleigh and North Carolina State University have worked together to improve forecasting in the Carolinas. The result of these collaborative efforts has been a better understanding of forecast problems found in the southeast and the Carolinas (cold-air damming, mixed precipitation, coastal flooding along the sounds, etc). In many cases, the research has resulted in operational schemes that have helped NWS meteorologists forecast these meteorological phenomena. Indeed, meteorologists at NWS-RAH and NCSU faculty view our joint collaborations as a 5-Step Process, whereby research findings ultimately are integrated into operations.
