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.

PNNL administers two research buoys for the U.S. Department of Energy that allows collection of wind meteorological and oceanographic data off the nation's coasts.

PNNL and the United States Geological Survey are partnering to develop a buoy-based radar system capable of measuring bird and bat abundances and behaviors at offshore locations.

PNNL wind energy experts led a project to review existing literature focusing on the technical evaluation of offshore wind energy transmission through potential points of interconnection at the West Coast.
