The Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Laboratory of NSF NCAR invites you to this year's Joint MPAS/WRF Users' Workshop from June 3 - 6, 2025. The event will take place at the NCAR|UCAR Center Green campus in Boulder, Colorado with a virtual attendance option.
The primary objectives of the workshop are for developers and the scientific community to provide updates on the MPAS and WRF modeling systems, to discuss model development and issues, and to share progress in novel applications and evaluation. This year, we are especially seeking contributions on the following topics related to MPAS/WRF.
Authors will be able to request either a poster or an oral presentation (note that the poster session will be entirely in-person). In addition, we will offer short tutorials on Friday related to new developments, and there will be discussion opportunities throughout the workshop on the topics of model development and infrastructures, especially as they relate to the implementation of MPAS in the Unified Forecast System (UFS). More information will be provided at a later date.
Mark your calendars! We look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
Proceed to the Workshop website for links to registration and abstract submission.
NOTE:
We are aware of funding uncertainties and constraints in many organizations this year. We would like to emphasize that
(1) there is no abstract submission fee, and
(2) virtual attendance is an option.
There are MPAS-WRF Workshop registration fees for both the in-person and virtual options. We are aware that uncertainties in funding may result in many individuals not attending the workshop either in person or virtually. Our ultimate goal is to have everyone that wants to attend the workshop to be able to do so regardless of funding issues. We are exploring how to do this, and we will be releasing further announcements concerning workshop registrations later next month.

This year, we are especially seeking contributions on the following topics related to MPAS/WRF.
- Model development and updates, including improving model performance and efficiency
- Data assimilation development and updates for global/regional applications, including assimilation of new observations
- Model comparisons between MPAS and WRF
- New or improved physics, physics infrastructure, and evaluation
- Applications that include coupling to other modeling components and/or enhance operational forecasting capability
- Applications of AI/ML methods using MPAS/WRF to improve weather prediction
