Description:The Modeling Program Office (STI-M) within the National Weather Service’s Office of Science and Technology Integration (NWS/OSTI) assesses the compute and storage needs for various weather applications moving to the operational Production Suite at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The programs and projects covered in this assessment are those that are managed by STI-M and are in various stages of development, but all have an eye towards operational implementation within the next 2-5 years. Resource constraints are always a concern with any project or program, but no resource constraint within NOAA’s numerical weather prediction (NWP) applications presents a higher risk than the need for and lack of compute power and storage capacity. Computational High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources for Operations and Research and Development (R&D) are critical for advancing science and improving operational outcomes for the NWS. This assessment presents estimated compute and storage needs and recommendations necessary to inform NOAA’s decision makers on funding gaps and resource needs required to successfully plan and transition STI-M’s managed programs and projects from research to operations (R2O) and to help build a Weather Ready Nation.
