Weathering the Storm: How Canada's Meteorological Research Division is Advancing Weather and Environmental Prediction in North America Introduction Weather and environmental prediction is a vital service that helps Canadians and Americans prepare for and cope with various natural hazards, such as storms, floods, droughts, wildfires, and air pollution. It also supports various sectors of the economy, such as agriculture, transportation, energy, and tourism, by providing reliable and timely information on current and future weather and environmental conditions. The Meteorological Research Division Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) maintains a Meteorological Research Division (MRD) that conducts cutting-edge research and development in various fields of meteorology and atmospheric science to improve the accuracy and reliability of weather and environmental prediction. MRD is located in Toronto, Ontario, and is part of the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC),
