The Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS) at the University of Oklahoma is developing techniques for the practical numerical prediction of small-scale weather, with a principal emphasis on increasing substantially the accuracy and reliability of warnings of hazardous events associated with thunderstorms on time scales of one to several hours over spatial domains ranging from several hundred to a few thousand kilometers on a side. Expansion of this research to wintertime events, principally those driven by mesoscale instabilities and local forcing, will be undertaken during the next few years. Within the scientific framework now established, CAPS will pursue its goal of evolving a prototype for regional storm-scale prediction that would augment present-day operations. CAPS views the Storm Prediction Center (SPC), as a key element for achieving this goal, and is exploring the possibility of serving as a research and development component of the SPC after its formal 11-year cooperative agreement as an NSF Science and Technology Center expires.
