  3. NWS Virtual Laboratory • The Virtual Laboratory (VLab) is a service and IT framework which enables NWS employees and their partners, including those who are not co-located, to share ideas, collaborate, engage in software development, and conduct applied research.

  4. Implementation of the VLab: • Reduces the time and cost of transitions of NWS field innovations to enterprise operations, • Minimizes redundancy and leverage complementary, yet physically separated, skill sets, • Forges scientific and technical solutions based on a broad, diverse consensus, and • Promotes an R2O culture based on collaboration and trust

  5. Guiding Principles • Transparency • Teamwork • Flexibility • Responsiveness • Accountability

  6. Scope • VLab is open to all NOAA employees* • The VLabsupports both informal collaboration and prototyping as well as formal, structured development • The VLabdevelopment is targeted to the following operational systems: • Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) • Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS) • NWS Internet Dissemination System (NIDS) • *External users can be granted access by request from a NOAA partner
