  • Description: This teaching box provides a sample lesson on the usage of Pi-WRF, including concepts and processes of weather forecasting.
  • Audience: middle school, high school, college.
  • Standards used: Reading, Writing, MS - ESS2-5, HS - ESS2-4, MS - ESS2-6, HS - ESS3-5.

Overview

This teaching box is designed to introduce students to the WRF model, including the concepts of weather forecasting and model simulation. Learners making use of this teaching box can produce their own weather forecasts by running the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Learners can then make use of their WRF model output to answer a question that fits their interests. At the end of this teaching box lesson, learners will be able to demonstrate the following weather-related skills:

  1. Use of weather datasets, along with the WRF model, to answer real-world weather-related questions.

  2. Application of practices associated with data science, such as understanding, analysis, visualization, and communication of data, to compile weather-related narratives (weather stories).

  3. Analysis of, and reflection on, the social impact of weather forecasting.
