Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) on Integration and Visualization of Multi-Source Information for Mesoscale Meteorology: Statistical and Cognitive Approaches to Visualizing Uncertainty



This MURI is conducted by researchers in four University of Washington departments: Applied Physics Laboratory, Statistics, Atmospheric Sciences, and Psychology. The team's goals include:


Develop methods for evaluating uncertainty of mesoscale meteorological model prediction

Improve statistical methods for dealing with uncertainty

Understand how forecasters incorporate uncertainty in their forecasts

Create methods of integration and visualization of multi-source information from model output, observations, and expert knowledge

Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Facility, Whidbey Island

The MURI Team will be working with the Navy personnel who provide operational forecasts to numerous military organizations located throughout the northwest region.
