  1. NWS/AMS International Workshop January 7, 2005 San Diego, California Building and Sustaining Data NetworksbyCurt Barrett-NWS International

  2. WEATHER RELATED DISASTERS • 1992-2001 CRED Statistics • 90% of all natural disasters are weather related • 622,000 Lost their lives-2 billion affected • $446 billion in losses

  3. Total Insured and Uninsured Losses from Weather related Natural Disasters1980-1998 Figure 1

  4. NMHS’s REQUIRE REAL TIME HYDROMET DATA • Climate models need GCOS Data • Mesoscale models are increasing • Distributed hydrologic models need high resolution data • Tsunami models require pressure data

  5. End-to-End Forecast Process Disaster Mitigation and Integrated Water Management Decision Support Data Notify Communication Coordinate Forecast Actions

  6. There are Multiple sources of Data IR VIS SOUNDING GOES NASA TRMM NASA EOS TMI PR VIRS MODIS IR+VIS ASTER CERES Precipitable Water Wind Speed + Direction Topography (Elevation + Slope) Radar Gauge Surface Temperature Soil Moisture Vegetation

  7. The Challenge: Sustaining our present HYDROMET networks 33% of EXISTING GUAN AND GCOS SURFACE STATIONS DO NOT REPORT

  8. GCOS Surface Network (GSN) 989 Stations GCOS Secretariat 26 May 1999

  9. GCOS Upper Air Network (GUAN) 150 Stations GCOS Secretariat 21 April 1999

  10. How to Build a network • Have a Disaster • Hurricane MITCH • Build a case to include Data Network as part of Bank LOAN • Russia, Poland,Romania • Seek Donors • -Mekong streamgage network-Australia

  11. Building your Case • Analyze existing network • Develop Data network scenarious (ideal vs basic) • Examine forecasting and warning requirements for climatology, hydrology, meteorology and coastal surge/tsunami • Conduct GAP analysis

  12. Some Major DATA Players Global Earth Observing System GEOSS) GCOS Program European Union United States Agency for International Development World Bank United Nations (such as WMO WWW) NOAA

  13. Develop a Strategy • To acquire funds to modernize Data Networks -Look at what opportunities exist! • Develop a “marketing plan” • What are existing network limitations and resultant negative impacts ? • Describe users and Data needs (the Gap) • Describe Data Network benefits vs costs for network scenarious

  14. Develop USER Partnerships • User Requirements for Data are your requirements • Develop USER partnerships • USERS assist NMHS in developing plan • USERS lobby government to execute plan

  15. Partnerships

  16. New Weather Stations in Central America

  17. SUMMARY • NMHS’s cooperate to develop VISION (how?) • Develop Partnerships with USERS • (energy. Emergency services,agriculture,media,transportation • Costs vs Benefits calculated for network enhancement (how?) • Make sure maintenance plans and funds included to assure sustainability • Sell plan at every opportunity • Have patience
