The NWEC project under the National Weather Service aims to establish a comprehensive infrastructure to support the evaluation and development of advanced weather data products. Key objectives include demonstrating and testing new weather tools, facilitating software integration, and enhancing collaboration among organizations. The environment will support various activities, including software development, data playback capabilities, and resource sharing across NextGen partners. The initiative focuses on improving accuracy and efficiency in weather forecasting and research, significantly aiding aviation and public safety.
