Test beds have become an integral part of the weather enterprise, bridging research and forecast services by transitioning innovative tools and tested methods that impact forecasts and forecast users. O ver roughly the last decade, a variety of "test beds" have come into existence focused on high-impact weather and the core tools of meteorology-observations, models, and fundamental understanding of the underlying physical processes. They have entered the proverbial "valley of death" between research and forecast operations (NAS 2000), Develop and introduce new ideas, data, etc. Input Revise and iterate Experiment and demonstrate End testing Output Test and refine loop V Assess impacts and evaluate and have survived. This paper provides a brief background on how this happened; summarizes test bed origins, methods, and selected accomplishments; and provides a perspective on the future of test beds in our field. Dabbert et al. (2005) provides a useful description of test beds from early in their development and Fig.

22 The Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model is an operational model 23 used to provide numerical guidance in support of tropical cyclone forecasting at the National 24 Hurricane Center. HWRF is a complex multi-component system, consisting of the Weather 25 Research and Forecasting (WRF) atmospheric model coupled to the Princeton Ocean Model for 26 Tropical Cyclones (POM-TC), a sophisticated initialization package including a data assimilation 27 system, and a set of postprocessing and vortex tracking tools. HWRF's development is centralized 28 at the Environmental Modeling Center of NOAA's National Weather Service, but it incorporates 29 contributions from a variety of scientists spread out over several governmental laboratories and 30 academic institutions. This distributed development scenario poses significant challenges: a large 31 number of scientists need to learn how to use the model, operational and research codes need to 32 stay synchronized to avoid divergence, and promising new capabilities need to be tested for 33 operational consideration. This article describes how the Developmental Testbed Center has 34 engaged in the HWRF developmental cycle in the last three years and the services it provides to 35 the community in using and developing HWRF. 36 37 Capsule: 38 How the Developmental Testbed Center facilitates the use of HWRF by the community 39 leading to an improved model for operations 40
