  1. SARWeather Ólafur Rögnvaldsson – IMR/UiB Áslaug Friðriksdóttir – Sjá Bárður Niclasen – UFI Einar M. Einarsson – IMR/UI Fannar F. Jónsson – IO Haraldur Ólafsson – UI/UiB Jian-Wen Bao – NOAA/ESRL Jóhanna Símonardóttir – Sjá Jón Dal Kristbjörnsson – IO Hálfdán Ágústsson – IMR/UI Marius O. Jonassen – IMR/UiB María Edwardsdóttir – IMR Símon E. Vilhjálmsson – IMR/RU Þór Sigurðsson – IMR/RU Örnólfur E. Rögnvaldsson – IMR SARWeatheris partly funded by NORA and FP7

  2. Development SARWeather is a joint research project led by IMR/Belgingur, in collaboration with NOAA/ESRL, the University of Bergen, the University of the Faroe Islands, and the private companies IO and Sjá. To ensure maximum usability for SAR operators, SARWeather has been developed in close collaboration with ICE-SAR and the Civil Protection Department of the Icelandic Police.SARWeather is funded in part by grant number 550-025 (Vejrtjeneste for Søberedskab) from NORA and by the European Commission under the 7th Community Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (GalileoCast). GalileoCast is managed by GSA, the European GNSS Supervisory Authority. SARWeather

  3. SARWeather • History of SARWeather in one slide! • Weather forecasts and the importance of high resolution • SARWeather and SUMO • Integration of SUMO data with SARWeather • System schematics • Demonstration of SARWeather • Future development SARWeather

  4. 2007-2008: Lobbyism, applications, etc. etc. 2007: Flight of the SUMO 2007: Idea emerges January 2010: Haiti 2009: Cash starts flowing Spring/summer 2010: Eruption in Mt. Eyjafjallajökull Spring 2010: USAR conference in Abu Dhabi 2009-2010: Code like the wind May 2010: GDACS annual meeting SARWeather

  5. Importance of high resolution Global forecasts 15-50 km grid Belgingur forecasts 27-9-3 km grid SARWeather

  6. Importance of high resolution Snæfellsnes at 9km resolution. Max height 300m And at 1km resolution. Max height 1260 m SARWeather

  7. Importance of high resolution SARWeather

  8. Why not always use 1km resolution? Need 1000-times more CPU power to simulate a 1 km resolution forecast than a 10 km one for the same region! SARWeather

  9. SARWeather and SUMO Modifications done to the original SUMO plane • New microcomputer (Gumstix) • 3G/GSM modem • All weather sensors moved from the original (Tiny2) microcomputer to the new one • Opens up for two additional sensors to be connected to the Tiny2 (e.g. gyros for improved handling) Data transmitted to data base SARWeather

  10. SARWeather and SUMO SUMO data 3D-VAR or 4D-VAR www.belgingur.is post processing SUMO data via Obs Nudging SARWeather

  11. Integration of SARWeather and SUMO SARWeather

  12. Integration of SARWeather and SUMO SARWeather

  13. Integration of SARWeather and SUMO SARWeather

  14. Integration of SARWeather and SUMO SARWeather

  15. System schematics Integration with other systems GalileoActive GDACS MapAction SARWeather

  16. Future development • Wave module for coastal waters and large lakes • Distribution module for airborn pollutant SARWeather
