 National Unified Operational Prediction Capability

The National Unified Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC) is an initiative launched by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) in the United States. Its primary goal is to enhance the nation's ability to predict weather, climate, and environmental conditions through a collaborative framework that integrates various modeling and observational systems. NUOPC focuses on developing a unified approach to operational prediction by improving the coordination among different predictive models and enhancing the data assimilation processes.
