This short lesson (<30 min.) includes audio recordings from Dr. Louis Uccellini, Director of the U.S. National Weather Service, describing the motivation and advantages of the National Blend of Global Models. The Blend will launch nationally at the end of 2015, utilizing the best available science to provide a consistent starting basis for forecast grids across the contiguous U.S. The lesson includes comparisons of Blend forecasts with current guidance and offers a short summary of future plans and Blend-related training.
