THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. The Air Force ISR Agency has been tasked to solicit for and award a project for meteorological modeling support to the TMA division in an effort to provide incremental improvements to AFTAC's existing meteorological and material transport and dispersion modeling capabilities. This request for information is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities, and qualifications of various companies to provide support. The contractor must demonstrate the capability to provide the following: (1) Atmospheric Modeling Enhancements; (2) Atmospheric Data Assimilation Enhancements including 3- and 4- Dimensional variational data assimilation techniques an well as ensemble Kalman filter methods; (3) Enhancement and Tuning of the Ensemble WRF Atmospheric Modeling System to improve model accuracy and to characterize uncertainty within the ensemble; (4) Transport and Dispersion Model and Material source Estimation Enhancements, including but not limited to the development of in-line transport and dispersion (T&D) capabilities within the standard Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model build ; (5) Personnel must have the appropriate technical skills locally available for on-site support; (6) Security clearances (S) are required for this task; (7) Maintain and control the software and hardware configuration baseline; (8) Must be able to demonstrate clear and sound organizational and management methods; (9) Travel may be required as directed by the government to receive training or to support the mission.
