• Description:
  The Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017 (WRFIA), P.L. 115-25, instructs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to prioritize improving weather data, modeling, computing, forecasting and warnings for the protection of life and property and for the enhancement of the national economy. The National Integrated Drought Information System Reauthorization Act of 2018 (NIDISRA), P.L. 115-423, instructs NOAA to establish the Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) to accelerate community-developed scientific and technological enhancements into the operational applications for numerical weather prediction (NWP).
