The Data-Model Convergence (DMC) Initiative is a multidisciplinary effort to create the next generation of scientific computing capability through a software and hardware co-design methodology.

By improving the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Solar model, this project aims to reduce forecast errors, improve sub-grid scale variability estimates, and more accurately estimate forecast uncertainty.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has pioneered the use of observational research for evaluating energy efficient technologies in the built environment.
