WWRP Nowcasting and Mesoscale Research
Mission
WGNMR aims to advance the research of nowcasting and mesoscale processes and predictability; to promote the implementation of nowcasting systems within National Meteorological Hydrological Services (NMHSs) and among their users, including the use of numerical modelling, predictability, assimilation of high-resolution data and field experiments.
NMR should contribute to the WMO global effort to aid capacity development and awareness of nowcasting techniques and products, especially in developing and least developed countries and regions.
NMR should identify, through its regional survey initiative, gaps in, and solutions for, nowcasting provision in nations and regions without operational nowcasting services.
NMR should facilitate the capacity development of nowcasting services through the connection of nowcasting service users with the providers of data, products and infrastructure for sustainable development of nowcasting services.
NMR should facilitate and promote research to understand mesoscale processes through observational and modelling studies including field experiments.
NMR should promote research related to high resolution prediction and predictability from minutes to days.
