About the UW-NMS |
|
The University of Wisconsin Nonhydrostatic Modeling System (UW-NMS) is a state of the art numerical weather prediction model used for research by the UW-Madison Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. The UW-NMS is specifically designed to investigate meso-scale phenomena such as hurricanes, tornadoes, squall lines, etc., and the interactions these phenomena have on the larger synoptic and global scales. Improvements in the model due to recent advances in computing power have even allowed for the study of meso-gamma and miso-scale features, such as boundary layer rolls, and how these features interact with the larger scales.
