Mission
Forecasting risk before impact
The center studies atmospheric instability, severe storm formation, and cascading weather threats that affect humanitarian operations, infrastructure resilience, and community safety.
Its work supports scenario modeling, field-ready interpretation, and decision support for extreme heat, cyclonic systems, flood-producing rainfall, and fast-moving severe weather events.
Core Focus
Three operational priorities
Storm Genesis Modeling
Analyzing atmospheric triggers, convective development, and escalation pathways behind high-impact weather systems.
Hazard Intelligence
Translating meteorological data into actionable risk insight for field teams, planners, and humanitarian leadership.
Early Warning Support
Strengthening preparedness through forecast interpretation, alert framing, and rapid coordination guidance.
