CASA and LEAD: adaptive cyberinfrastructure for real-time multiscale weather forecasting

Abstract

Two closely linked projects aim to dramatically improve storm forecasting speed and accuracy. CASA is creating a distributed, collaborative, adaptive sensor network of low-power, high-resolution radars that respond to user needs. LEAD offers dynamic workflow orchestration and data management in a Web services framework designed to support on-demand, real-time, dynamically adaptive systems
