Current work:

Ingest of WSR-88D and Canadian radar networks along with commercial and U.S. Terminal Doppler Weather Radars (TDWRs)
Advanced CONUS 4D dual-polarization and reflectivity mosaics
Initial 4D dual-pol Hydrometeor CONUS mosaic for model data assimilation
Advanced dual-polarization quality control of radar data and hydrometeor classification for more accurate precipitation type and rate products
Advanced precipitation gauge observation quality control
Advancements to surface precipitation estimations with evaporation corrections and radar gap-filling techniques
Full product suites for Alaska, Hawaii, Caribbean, and Guam with initial connections to Mexican and Caribbean radars
Resolution of 1-km x 2-min update cycle with 3D mosaics at 31 vertical levels
Severe weather and aviation related products per FAA NextGen requirements
Initial road transportation and advanced winter weather products
Evaluating and advancing dual-pol algorithms specific to FAA NextGen requirements
Evaluating and advancing machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques along with product development within a cloud computing environment

MRMS is being used to develop and test new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) NextGen products in addition to advancing techniques in quality control, icing detection, and turbulence in collaboration with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, and Lincoln Laboratories.

MRMS was deployed operationally in 2014 at the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). All of the 100+ products it produces are available via NCEP to all of the WFOs, RFCs, CWSUs and NCEP service centers. In addition, the MRMS product suite is publicly available to any other entity who wishes to access and use the data. Other federal agencies that use MRMS include FEMA, DOD, FAA, and USDA.

MRMS is the proposed operational version of the WDSS-II and NMQ research systems.

The MRMS system was jointly developed in cooperation with the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS), and the University of Oklahoma retains the right to commercially license the software. Several leading weather information companies have previously licensed the MRMS system from the University of Oklahoma for commercial use, although the software is available for government at no cost.
