Ncep program

Their presence will enhance ongoing activities and catalyze new efforts at several of the onsite test-beds while promoting an environment ripe for innovation. By immersing visitors into the NCEP operational infrastructure, they can carry valuable insights and capabilities back to their home institutions, thereby facilitating O2R support. Please note that an important criterion for the funding is that the work be truly collaborative.

Examples of projects include the following:. Visiting Scientists: The program places a special emphasis on short-term visits e. Such visits will permit interaction with model developers and diagnosticians in the Environmental Modeling Center and with forecasters and technique developers in the various service centers of NCEP. Proposed visits that offer the potential for improving the utility of successful research projects in the operational framework are of particular interest to NCEP, but scientists whose interest is principally on some critical aspect of model or tool development are also strongly encouraged to apply.

Graduate Students : Students interested in working on a thesis topic specifically relevant to the efforts of the various service centers are encouraged to apply with the appropriate center. Such student participation will require a close collaboration between NCEP and the student home institution, specifically the thesis advisor. A sponsoring scientist should initiate applications for graduate students.

Please contact a scientist at an NCEP center and discuss a collaborative plan of action before applying. Cover letter stating the name of this program and the specific center s to which you are applying.

Please address the following:. A two-page summary with a specific title of the proposed project. Air Temperature. Geopotential Height. Relative Humidity.
