The Community Earth atmospheric Data System (CEDS) provides historical surface flux data that are used for general analysis and also for model validation through comparisons with observations.

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.

Poorly insulated walls in residential buildings waste an estimated quadrillion+ Btus of energy per year. Upgrading windows and insulation during re-siding projects is a unique, cost-effective opportunity to improve efficiency and comfort.
