FALLS CHURCH, Va. — General Dynamics Information Technology, a business unit of General Dynamics, announced the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Weather Service will begin running its operational weather, water, climate, and space weather forecast models on GDIT’s twin supercomputers.
Meteorologists will produce weather forecast products using output from these model runs. These forecasts are critical for public safety and every economic sector in the U.S., including agriculture, transportation, urban planning, and air quality monitoring, as well as the management of emergency response, energy, and natural resources. They also inform space weather impacts on communications, electrical power grids, and satellite operations.
