  1. Can the private sector help fund the academic and public sectors? Jay Titlow

  2. CurrentParadigm Friction paths for the Private Sector Friction paths for the Academic/Govt Sectors Products Government Private Sector End User Academia

  3. Evolving Changes Examples:Mesonets, Drifters, etc. Products Government Private Sector End User Academia

  4. Current Paradigms …and lack of any path! Dollars Government Mot Private Sector End User Academia Friction paths

  5. New Paradigm Dollars Government End Users Private Sector Focus: Leverage all sectors to build “better” products which will lead to more end users that will pay more for products. Academia

  6. …so, just how can the private sector help fund the academic and public sectors? Case Study: WeatherFlow’s Potential Contributions Started in 1987, A national mesonet and marine forecast service geared for the recreational sailor. Key: Since inception, charges for data when competition is free.

  7. Public/academic benefits: A) Mesonet Data source for NWS (sites are located where existing sensors are not).

  8. Data source for NWS WeatherFlow Observation pushed to users at 1624:WSW 41G65 Minute later, NWS issued: SEVERE WEATHER STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 426 PM EDT TUE JUL 22 2003 ...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING CONTINUES UNTIL 450 PM EDT FOR ACCOMACK COUNTY IN EASTERN VIRGINIA ... AT 426 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A LINE EXTENDING FROM 13 MILES SOUTHWEST OF TANGIER TO 13 MILES SOUTHWEST OF HARBORTON...MOVING NORTHEAST AT 25 MPH. THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL BE NEAR HARBORTON AND PUNGOTEAGUE AROUND 445 PM... TANGIER AROUND 450 PM...

  9. Public/academic benefits: A) Mesonet Data source for NWS (sites are located where existing sensors are not). Data source for Academia (cost of accessing data from mesonet a fraction of cost of going solo). Data source for USCG SAR activities.

  10. “Coast Guard Group Hampton Roads is responsible for maritime search planning in Virginia's tidal waters and 200 miles out to sea.  The SAR (Search and Rescue) controllers have a need for wind data in order to predict the area to which a distressed craft might drift while disabled.  I believe that your sites offer a significant advantage to these controllers within lower Chesapeake Bay.  The NOAA PORTS system is useful, but its sensor locations are oriented toward the needs of larger ships.  Most Coast Guard SAR cases involve recreational craft in areas of the bay not normally used by commercial shipping. Your sensors give our people a much better picture of local winds.” Norman G HellerUS Coast Guard AuxiliaryCommand Duty OfficerGroup Hampton Roads Data for Search & Rescue

  11. Public/academic benefits: A) Mesonet Data source for NWS (sites are located where existing sensors are not). Data source for Academia (cost of accessing data from mesonet a fraction of cost of going solo). Data source for USCG SAR activities. Data source for DHS,EM.

  12. NWS only DATA for Homeland Defense HPAC Output Oct 22, 2002 @ 6pm WITHOUT NWS and WeatherFlow * Place sites where they will reveal the intricacies of the mesoclimate, not at the nearest airport. WITH

  13. Public/academic benefits: A) Mesonet Data source for NWS (sites are located where existing sensors are not). Data source for Academia (cost of accessing data from mesonet a fraction of cost of going solo). Data source for USCG SAR activities. Data source for DHS,EM. Evolving portal for new instruments. Employment sources for grads.

  14. A) Mesonet Keywords: operational, permanent.

  15. Public/academic benefits: B)Emerging technologies Improved tidal models

Proceedings of the AMS Fifth Conference on Coastal Atmospheric and Oceanic Prediction and Processes, Seattle, WA, August, 6-8, 2003, 117-120.

  17. Public/academic benefits: B)Emerging technologies Improved tidal models Mesoscale meteorological models

  18. WeatherFlow Mesoscale Models

  19. Public/academic benefits: Improved Products EndUser Research $$$ B)Emerging technologies Improved tidal models Mesoscale meteorological models NOS Estuary Modeling (Sea Nettle maps in Chesapeake Bay.) Remote sensing advancements (QuikSCAT, SeaWIFS) Improved wave modeling (NOAA WaveWatch III)

  20. Public/academic benefits: B) Emerging delivery methods: Web sites: Raise visibility of academic/ government sensors ( e.g. NOAA PORTS). Web sites: Provide an instant captive audience for research projects (e.g., NOS Sea Nettle maps in Chesapeake Bay). E-mail/text message alerts: Important variables are pushed to clients(e.g., wind alerts sent to Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Police trigger closures and transport restrictions) .
