Learn to run the UFS Global-Workflow (GW) in a container at #UIFCW25!.This demo will show how to compile and run GW with a Singularity Image on Ursa or AWS. Includes hands-on examples: hello-world, C48-ATM, and possibly S2S. Register at

Students, take a look at the travel grant available to attend #UIFCW25! EPIC, in partnership with @UCAR_CPAESS, is offering a limited number of travel grants that cover transportation, hotel, and meals for students to attend the event. Apply by July 30th!.

This event inspired my interest in derechos, which I’ve been able to explore through my William M. Lapenta internship at NOAA. For more information on my work related to derechos, check out last week’s post!.

A tree fell through the roof of a neighbor’s house and another fell on a car just down the street. Astonishingly, there were no fatalities.

Hey everyone, it’s Rowin, this time with a story!.Almost ten years ago I experienced intense, severe thunderstorms in Northern Michigan, where I grew up. The impacts were incredible, including swaths of forest leveled by microbursts exceeding 100 mph.

Thinking about a career at NOAA? #UIFCW25 will include special sessions on how to get your foot in the door — including tips, strategies, and panel discussions with early career professionals. Check out the full week’s schedule on the website. Register at
