WxChallenge Forecasting Competition
Hello Met-Clim majors,
During the 2022-23 academic year UNL is again participating in WxChallenge, a North American forecasting competition (https://www.wxchallenge.com/). You're encouraged to participate if you would like experience forecasting for a variety of sites and would like to test your forecasting ability against students and faculty from most universities with weather programs in the U.S. and Canada. This is also a good experience if you may have interest in forecasting as a career. You can participate for just one semester (fall or spring; 5 sites each, $3 registration per semester), or for the entire year (10 sites, $5 registration total).
Forecasting begins on 26 September. Registration is online (https://www.wxchallenge.com/registration.php); you will need UNL's registration key: rI4KhAxTk. Your registration fee can be given to Dr. Van Den Broeke (mvandenbroeke2@unl.edu; 306 Bessey Hall); also direct any questions to him. Please have your registration completed and your fee paid by 2200 UTC (5 PM) on 23 September. Thank you!
