Parallel Weather Modeling in the Cloud Weather and climate modeling is becoming more critical as more and more industries rely on accurate forecasting from typical weather to severe storms. This modeling can provide insights and cause/effect relationships we have yet to discover. It can also extend our current understanding of the changing climate. In this experiment, the computation tool is the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. WRF is a next-generation mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed for both atmospheric research and operational forecasting applications.
