The weather and climate greatly affect socioeconomic activities on multiple temporal and spatial scales. From a climate perspective, atmospheric and ocean characteristics have determined the life, evolution, and prosperity of humans and other species in different areas of the world. On smaller scales, the atmospheric and sea conditions affect various sectors such as civil protection, food security, communications, transportation, and insurance. It becomes evident that weather and ocean forecasting is high-value information highlighting the need for state-of-the-art forecasting systems to be adopted. This importance has been acknowledged by the authorities of Saudi Arabia entrusting the National Center for Meteorology (NCM) to provide high-quality weather and climate analytics. This led to the development of a numerical weather prediction (NWP) system. The new system includes weather, wave, and ocean circulation components and has been operational since 2020 enhancing the national capabilities in NWP. Within this article, a description of the system and its performance is discussed alongside future goals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
