00:00 - 00:03We saw solid overall model performance
00:04 - 00:05Precipitation forecasts were very accurate here
00:05 - 00:07Nailed the severe storm here
00:08 - 00:12But we continue to see issues with the PBL
00:12 - 00:15And both temperature and wind forecasts were poor for much of Berlin
00:17 - 00:19Write up an unfunded
00:19 - 00:21We'll get NCAR on that right away
00:24 - 00:26My fuhrer
00:27 - 00:28NCAR
00:31 - 00:33NCAR is out. We've been ordered to turn off WRF
00:34 - 00:36We will be running the Unified Model now
00:53 - 00:58Unless you actually write code and run software...get out
01:13 - 01:15Turn off WRF?
01:15 - 01:17For a foreign model?
01:18 - 01:23One that is totally and completely a black box to us?
01:25 - 01:28It will take 10 years to get back to where we are now
01:29 - 01:31We'll never be able to replicate the WRF product suite
01:31 - 01:34We have no expertise on advanced data assimilation and data quality
01:34 - 01:37ACAPS will have to start from scratch
01:37 - 01:40Are they aware how much all this will cost?
01:40 - 01:42My fuhrer, the license fee is only $100K annually
01:42 - 01:46$100K? We'll spend that much just on per diem to travel to Exeter!
01:46 - 01:48My fuhrer, we need a global capability to support our global mission
01:48 - 01:52Global mission? You know what we could use to support a global mission?
01:53 - 01:54GLOBAL WRF!!!!
01:56 - 01:57Which was on the verge of being implemented
01:57 - 02:00before this nonsense started!
02:00 - 02:03There has been no PR offensive on this
02:04 - 02:08Capital Weather Gang is going to eat us alive
02:08 - 02:13The Navy, who abandoned WRF before a single line of code was written
02:14 - 02:16NOAA, whose budget is so big they could pretend to play along while doing their own thing
02:17 - 02:21Now compared to us, they look like PATRIOTS!
02:27 - 02:29It will only get worse from there
02:30 - 02:34Cliff Mass is going to write a blog post and beat his chest so hard
02:34 - 02:36That the switchboards will light up at the Capitol
02:41 - 02:42We'll have congressmen asking questions
02:43 - 02:47Fox News will get the xenophobes all riled up
02:48 - 02:53The weather channel will try to make a controversy out of it since no one watches them anymore
02:54 - 02:56All of this turmoil for what?
02:56 - 02:59So we can sell some F-35s to the UK?
03:00 - 03:02So the Air Force won't shut us down?
03:04 - 03:07They would never do that...weather is more important than anything
03:14 - 03:16No use fighting it
03:19 - 03:23Their 500 anomaly scores at day 5 are just too good
03:25 - 03:26So good
03:31 - 03:33The future is the UKMO
03:40 - 03:46The US weather enterprise will never get its act together
03:46 - 03:49Too many bureaucracies, budgets split a million ways
03:53 - 03:56God Save the Queen
