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