The Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD) 122 is
a National Science Foundation funded1 project to change the paradigm
for mesoscale weather prediction from one of static, fixed-schedule
computational forecasts to one that is adaptive and driven by weather
events. It is a collaboration of eight institutions,2 led by Kelvin
Droegemeier of the University of Oklahoma, with the goal of enabling
far more accurate and timely predictions of tornadoes and hurricanes
than previously considered possible. The traditional approach to
weather prediction is a four-phase activity. In the first phase,
data from sensors are collected. The sensors include ground instruments
such as humidity and temperature detectors, and lightning strike
detectors and atmospheric measurements taken from balloons, commercial
aircraft, radars, and satellites. The second phase is data assimilation,
in which the gathered data are merged together into a set of consistent
initial and boundary conditions for a large simulation. The third
phase is the weather prediction, which applies numerical equations
to measured conditions in order to project future weather conditions.
The final phase is the generation of visual images of the processed
data products that are analyzed to make predictions. Each phase of
activity is performed by one or more application components.
