Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act ("The Weather Act")
In 2017, the 115th U.S. Congress passed the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act, also known as the “Weather Act” - a legislative mandate to improve NOAA’s weather forecasting through research advances in observational, computing, and modeling capabilities, to support substantial improvement in weather forecasting and prediction of high impact weather events. For more information please visit our Weather Act Subject Guide. This collection provides access to documents submitted to Congress in response to the Weather Act, describing efforts to improve hurricane, tornado, tsunami, and subseasonal to seasonal forecasting.
