Social Science Partner Research Social Science Woven into Meteorology (SSWIM) SSWIM brought on board 2009 Preliminary Results from Current Research shared at AMS 2011 Today, provide a brief overview of the social science component and share several practical applications for the Hazard Services prototype design.

Purpose -- Integrate Hazard Tools Phase 1 WARNGEN (< 1 hour) GHG (Hours-Days) Hazard Services RiverPro (Days) 9
Purpose -- Integrate Hazard Tools Phase 2 WARNGEN (< 1 hour) GHG (Hours-Days) Hazard Services RiverPro (Days) NMAP (National) 10
Purpose -- Two-way Communication Phase 3 AWIPS II CAVE -- Forecasters Web -- Partners: EM's, Broadcasters Spotters, Publics Hazards National “Cloud” Impacts 11 IHIS serves as a vehicle for social science (RENCI / SSWIM) research into Partner Requirements to be realized by NWS
Project History • 2004 OSIP Project / Next Generation Warning Tool team • Telecons for Concept and Requirements discussions • 2008 Workshop Norman OK, 130 attendees http://www.weather.gov/warningworkshop • 50% NWS / 50% partners (FEMA, EM’s, etc.) • 2009 Integrated Hazard Information Services Workshop hosted by GSD, 70 attendees http://fxa.noaa.gov/NGWT/NGWT_Workshop.html • Forecasters / partners / developers / social scientists • Initial User Interface designed for prototyping • 2010 Prototyping – Web-based short-fused tornado warning • Established basic user interface through rapid forecaster feedback • Looking ahead to two-way communication
Project History 2011 Prototype work AWIPS II CAVE Prototypes – short-fused, long-fused, hydro Utilization of PGEN drawing tools GIS data – hospitals, Iris spotter reports, Census Design and partial development for “Live Data” Web-based prototype (prior to May) Attended IWT Workshop – Hydro/Partners 2011 Workshops Attended IWT Workshop – Hydro/Partners Hazard Services Workshop II (Sept) – Engaged user community and began defining IOC requirements
Integrated Hazard Information Services Moving from Product-Centric to Information-Centric Hazard Information Still need to store both legacy VTEC (Valid Time Event Code) product-centric information along with “atomic” information-centric information.
Hazard Services – Data Storage National Distributed Database Hazard Creation: Grids, Polygons, Points, Paths (Drawn or Calculated) -> Information Centric Atomic Hazard Information Product Centric VTEC Information SBN Product Generation
Summary of Prototyping Work • Prototyping has • “Touched on” ~60% of requirements • Provided a good launching point for gathering functional requirements and IOC design • Yet only covers ~20% of the functionality
Future Work -- Integrated GSD / RTS team for Phase 1 production development -- Goals: OSIP Gate 3 and IOC -- Development Tasks Data Transformation Framework for algorithms such as Recommenders and Text Products Database Solution– working with Iris team on storage formats, security, authentication User Interface and Forecast Process – common GUI for efficient and accurate hazard generation
Hazard Services across perspectives A possible step toward integrating AWIPS Applications • Common Data Access • Common Tools – iTools, Recommenders, Text Products • Collaboration • Real-time • Data Sharing • National Data “Cloud”
