Abstract
Most of us would agree that meteorologists need to improve the accuracy of their local forecasts. When planning and executing a highly public event-like the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games-where the weather can affect the activities, accurate forecasts become urgent. To improve the accuracy of forecasts for this year's games in Atlanta, the National Weather Service (NWS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides meteorological data plus warning and forecast services. The NWS aims to achieve an unprecedented level of precision in forecasting the weather at the Olympic games in Atlanta, using a number of new technologies, such as correlative 3D visualizations and a key mesoscale model-the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS).
