Epilogue
The National Weather Service (NWS) Environmental Modeling Center and NOAA in general have many excellent scientists and software engineers. I know a large number of them personally. Many are frustrated that they are spending time on models that have no real future. That they are often isolated from their colleagues in research. The key problem today for NWS numerical weather prediction is one of leadership and organization, and first and foremost, the US operational numerical weather prediction effort requires a comprehensive strategic plan and implementation strategy. Not for 1 or 2 years, but for the next decade and beyond. I know of several examples of extraordinarily talented young scientists, folks that could help move US operational NWP into leadership, that are turning away from careers in the NOAA or the NWS because they don't see a future there. That must change. And a community-consensus strategic plan for the next decade would be a good start.
