Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) Workshop: Building, Configuring, and Running the Unified Forecast System (UFS) Short-Range Weather (SRW) App in the Cloud

This short course will teach students how to configure and run NOAA's Unified Forecast System’s (UFS) Short Range Weather (SRW) Application on the Amazon Web Service (AWS) cloud computing platform. The UFS SRW App is a numerical weather prediction framework that targets predictions of atmospheric behavior on a limited spatial domain and on time scales from less than an hour out to forty-eight hours. This workshop aims to introduce participants to configuring and running the SRW App in the cloud.
