NWS Operations Private Sector and Universities NWS Field Innovation NOAA and Other Federal R&D

The Virtual Laboratory (VLab) is a set of services and IT framework which enables NWS employees and their partners to share ideas, collaborate, engage in software development, and conduct applied research. The Goal of VLab is to manage innovation, streamline O2R, and accelerate R2O in NOAA. VLab provides NWS’s R&D partners with a clear and inexpensive path to operations. NWS Virtual Laboratory

VLab is open to all NOAA employees* The VLab supports both informal collaboration and prototyping as well as formal, structured development The VLab development is targeted to the following operational systems: Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS) NWS Internet Dissemination System (NIDS) *External users can be granted access by request from a NOAA partner Scope VLab is NOT an “end-around” of existing NWS governance processes and procedures.

WRN Roadmap 2.0 P. 63: Design and implement a Virtual Laboratory (Vlab). Initial capabilities of the VLab will be to implement an innovation portal for tracking, sharing, and collaborating on development projects, including AWIPS software development. Being based in the cloud or cloud-like environment, the VLab will be a fundamental change in software development strategy for forecaster applications and will enhance both O2R and R2O.
