NextGen Water Prediction

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its Office of Water Prediction (OWP) lead the way in advanced weather and water forecasting solutions. They are committed to enhancing the nation's capabilities in water prediction, a mission framed by their innovative initiative known as the Next Generation Water Prediction Capability (NGWPC). This initiative aims to optimize water resource management through cutting-edge tools and technologies.

In collaboration with Raytheon, NOAA is transforming its water prediction models, including the Next Generation Water Model Framework and Flood Inundation Mapping. Their efforts focus on creating a climate-ready nation equipped to handle weather, water, and climate-related events effectively. By enhancing the science and application of forecasting in both water and climate sectors, NOAA and OWP provide critical support that empowers communities to prepare for and respond to environmental challenges.

Through their transformative work, they are redefining how we predict and manage our precious water resources in the face of a changing climate
