Nowcasting and Mesoscale Research

Mission

Nowcasting and Mesoscale Research Working Group (NMR) aims to advance the knowledge of nowcasting and mesoscale processes and predictability; to promote, and aid the implementation of nowcasting systems within National Meteorological Hydrological Services (NMHSs) and among their end-users, including the potential use of numerical modelling and assimilation of very high-resolution data.
