Science and Technology Infusion Plan for Marine Services Jeff Savadel NWS S&T Committee September 17, 2002
Outline • Team Composition • Vision / Benefits • Goals / Targets • Key Information Gaps • Key Solutions • Outstanding R & D Needs • Summary
Marine ServicesTeam Composition • Jeff Savadel - NWS/OST • Therese Pierce - NWS/OCWWS • Marty Ralph - OAR/ETL • James Partain - NWS/NCEP • Tom Ainsworth - NWS/WR • Andy Patrick - NWS/SR • Greg Mann – NWS/CR • C-S Wu - NWS/OST • Wendell Nuss - Naval Postgraduate School • Larry Burroughs - NWS/NCEP • Richard May - NWS/OCCWS
Marine ServicesVision / Benefits Vision Forecast Accuracy for Winds and Waves of 75% at 10 Days • Reduce Storm-Related Mariner Losses by 25% • Expected Savings of $700M/Year (Heinz Center Report) • Expected Savings $30M/Year – Gulf of Maine Study (2002)
Low Risk High Risk On Track Marine ServicesGoals/Targets to FY 12 * Realistic goal as set by team
Marine ServicesKey Information Gaps • More Atmospheric and Oceanic Observations – Ocean, Coastal, Great Lakes (i.e. Large Data Voids) • More Accurate 3D Picture of Atmosphere – Ocean, Coastal, Great Lakes (No Observations in Vertical) • Improve Model Resolution and Physics • More Training/Decision Support Systems
