NextGen Weather Evaluation Capabilities (NWEC) Environment National Weather Service Tri Nguyen, AJP-6840 January 7, 2010
Scope • Provide an infrastructure to support the proof of concept and evaluations of the 4-D Weather Data Cube, NWP Prototype and Sensor Optimization efforts • Provide an environment to demonstrate, test and evaluate new and enhanced weather products and standards (RTO) • Provide record, playback and dissemination capabilities for NextGen development and assessment activities • Support other NNEW/RWI/WTIC/AWRP activities as needed
NWEC Environment • Reconfigurable Environment to support activities • Utilize common software tools for better collaboration among organizations • Configuration managed • Software applications • Computer hardware • Cables and interfaces
FY10 Planned activities • Support software development • NNEW Service Adapters • Record/Playback Tool • NWP Prototype • Host NNEW FY10 IT Demo • Telecommunications network expansion • FTI R&D Enclave • NOAAnet • Internet II • Support WHJTC outreach • Misc lab tours (e.g., Media, Congress, Public Relations)
Recent Accomplishments • Evaluations • CoSPA User Evaluation • Demonstrations • NNEW IT Demos • Software Development • Data Archive/ Playback Capability
