Science for Services Projects
The World Weather Research Programme runs three science-for-services projects which are listed below.
Aviation Research Demonstration Project (2021-2025)
Purpose: Develop, demonstrate and quantify the benefits of end-to-end nowcasting (next 0-6h) aviation weather services for the terminal area focused on high-impact weather.

The website for the project can be found here.
Tropical Cyclone-Probabilistic Forecast Products (TC-PFP)
Purpose: Coordinate across RSMCs and other forecast centers to identify best practice guidance for probabilistic tropical cyclone forecasts.
Implementation:
This effort will be implemented in 3 phases, with an initial focus on Phase 1:
- Work with forecast centers to identify best practices of a value-cycle approach to probabilistic tropical cyclone forecasts of TC formation and position.
- Work with forecast centers to identify best practices of a value-cycle approach to probabilistic tropical cyclone related to forecasts of TC intensity and structure.
- Work with forecast centers to identify best practices of a value-cycle approach to probabilistic tropical cyclone related to forecasts of TC-related rainfall and storm surge.

The project does not have a website at this time and is scheduled to conclude in 2025.
