Among all the eye-popping numbers in the December summary linked below, it's also the first public appearance of this annual weather/climate visualization which I am quite fond of.

But! See that gap between the red and blue lines? While we can quibble over where exactly the blue line should be, closing the gap to the blue line is what NOAA Research (plus that from NSF, NASA, and DOE) is working to do — directly reducing death, injury, and property damage… (1/2)
I always come back to this image from NCAR when seeking to introduce the idea that predictability is a function of the scale of the event. Individual thunderstorms have low practical and inherent predictability; we simply cannot *reliably* predict when and where they will occur beyond a few hours.

Unidata is responsible for developing, maintaining, and supporting software such as:

NetCDF4
MetPy
LDM
AWIPS2 Public version
GEMPAK
THREDDS

They also support realtime data access via a public EDEX server, THREDDS, and more.
Due to the current gap in funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program is pausing most operations effective 12 May 2025. Nearly all staff will be furloughed until funds from our existing NSF grant become available. For more information, see buff.ly/d2TC1Oy
