Why are we/you doing this? • You are key to this experiment! • Ensures HWT goals aligned with operational needs • Bring field expertise to research projects • Provides operationally representativeresults • Improve feedback • Few papers by participants • Only 2 of 22 field participantshave added to the HWT Blog

  5. A Success Story… • WDTB Dual-Pol Training Operations Course • Train 2100 forecasters in 2 years • Selected as NOAA’s “High Priority Performance Goal (HPPG)” to DOC and OMB • “Storm of the Month” • WFOs “Tell Their Story” • NWS offices & Universities • WDTB & NSSL experts for Q&A • Collaboration for Research to Ops • Collaboration for Ops to Research

  6. “Storm of the Month”Research to Operations Results “Such interactions between the Dual-Pol researchers/ developers at NSSL & CIMMS and the operational users of that technology are invaluable to both groups. Seeing the immediacy of two-way feedbacks happen like this is simply tremendous and should accelerate future improvements to the WSR-88D and the informed applications of Dual-Pol measurements. I look forward to more such opportunities in the future.” Steve Koch, Director NSSL

  7. Applying These Results to the HWT • HWT to provide weekly operational reports • You will present observations and examples from yourparticipation • Research and Operational meteorologists from across the nation will be listening This is your chance to have your voices heard…

  8. Aspects of a Good Briefing

  9. Planning the Presentation • Define the audience’s characteristics • Operational & Research Meteorologists • Determine how much they already know • Most with working knowledge of operational meteorology • Tailor your presentation to meet their needs • Focus on operational aspect of your experience • Anticipate audience reactions…

  10. Creating a Presentation A well-structured presentation has three sections: • Identify your main message in the opening • Reinforce your main message in the middle • Summarize with a memorable conclusion The HWT was the best experience ever!

  11. Ideas for presentation • What are the applications/limitations of the new techinques/software/hardware to my office? • What was surprising in this experiment? • Human factors impacts in your office?
