WRF Research Applications Board

The primary function of the WRF Research Applications Board (WRAB) is to review trends and emerging science and technologies and to identify and prioritize those elements representing the greatest opportunities for advancing the capabilities of the WRF modeling system for use by the research community. The WRAB compiles its findings biannually by writing a draft report for the Advanced Science and Technologies section of the WRF Five-Year Plan. The Head of the WRAB, nominated by the WRF Program Coordinator, is a senior scientist recognized for leadership in mesoscale numerical weather prediction research. In addition to the Head, the WRAB membership consists of the Team Leaders of the research-oriented WRF Development Teams, plus up to six additional members nominated by the Head. WRAB members are selected for their research expertise and will span a broad cross section of the atmospheric sciences to provide the vision and leadership necessary to sustain WRF as a modeling system for the research community. The Head of the WRAB is an ex officio member of the WORB. The WRAB may be contacted at wrf-wrab@wrf-model.org
