has it faced any ontroversies?
Critics pointed out that NWS forecasts are not as accurate as they could be, and that this has resulted in inaccurate daily weather forecasts and dangerously bad predictions concerning the location and intensity of extreme weather events like blizzards and hurricanes.

Critics such as University of Washington professor Cliff Mass have pointed out that NWS forecasts are not as accurate as they could be, and that this has resulted in inaccurate daily weather forecasts and dangerously bad predictions concerning the location and intensity of extreme weather events like blizzards and hurricanes. Certain private companies, the British Met Office, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and the Northwest Regional Modeling Consortium in Seattle have been cited as producing more accurate predictions in certain circumstances. According to critics, causes include:

The Next Generation Global Prediction System project at NWS aims to address some of these criticisms by running a unified high-quality model that takes advantage of more recent research results.
what is the name for a weather forecaster Those using mathematical models and knowledge to prepare daily weather forecast are called "weather forecasters" or "operational meteorologists". what is weather forecasting? The application of science and technology to predict the conditions of the atmosphere for a given location and time. what are a few modern methodologies used in this regard? Barometer, Beaufort scale, Accuweather, El Niño-Southern Oscillation what is the first one? A scientific instrument that is used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. how did it get its name? The word "barometer" is derived from the meaning "weight", and meaning "measure". by whom was it developed? Evangelista Torricelli who was this person? He was an Italian physicist and mathematician, and a student of Galileo. where was he from? Rome is he relevant in the field of maths as well? Yes - he developed further the method of indivisibles of Cavalieri; infinite series; Telescoping series; Torricelli's trumpet (Gabriel's horn) did he study winds as well? He gave the first scientific description of the cause of wind how is the forecasts mentioned earlier important for farming? Farmers rely on weather forecasts to decide what work to do on any particular day. Drying hay is only feasible in dry weather. Frosts and freezes play havoc with crops both during the spring and fall. and are they relevant to forests as well? Yes - Weather forecasting of wind, precipitations, and humidity is essential for preventing and controlling wildfires. Indices like the "Forest fire weather index" and the "Haines Index", have been developed to predict areas at risk of fire. how are these forecasts relayed to the common people? Internet, Newspaper, television, radio, weather beacons is there any agency particularly dedicated to this forecast? Yes - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service (NWS) and Environment Canada's Meteorological Service (MSC). what is the first one? An gency of the United States federal government that is tasked with providing weather forecasts, warnings of hazardous weather, and other weather-related products to organizations and the public for the purposes of protection, safety, and general information. when was it set up? 1870
