  1. NOAA’s Surface Weather Program WIST Workshop June 13, 2006 Mike Campbell NOAA Surface Weather Program Manager NWS Observing Services

  2. NOAA Organizational Structure NOAA’s Strategic Mission Goals • Ecosystems • Weather and Water • Climate • Commerce and Transportation

  3. NOAA Organizational Structure NOAA’s Line Offices • NMAO • NESDIS • NOS • NWS

  4. Key Strategies for NOAA’s Commerce and Transportation Mission Goal Information that Moves America • NOAA has enhanced the American Public’s ability to: • Know where they are • Get where they are going safely and efficiently • Make appropriate decisions for a safe, secure, efficient, and environmentally sound transportation network. • NOAA’s essential services are uninterrupted and available during emergencies and critical events

  5. Commerce and Transportation Overview • Surface Weather • Aviation Weather • Marine Weather • Marine Transportation System • Geodesy • Emergency Response

  6. Surface Weather within NOAA • Mandate to protect life and property, and promote safe and efficient commerce and transportation • Weather contributes to ~7,400 deaths and ~1,500,000 highway crashes/yr • 17% of all highway fatalities occur during adverse weather • $42B annual economic loss • Weather support at the ocean and airport interfaces crucial to domestic and international commerce • Multi-modal with initial focus on road weather

  7. NOAA Services Supporting Surface Weather • Monitoring (observing, data management) • observing platforms (NOAA & non-NOAA) • satellite • Doppler radar • Data processing • Data archival • Prediction (forecasts, warnings, etc.) • Modeling • Climate Services

  8. NOAA’s Partnership with FHWA Mission Operations, research, private sector MOU (July, 2005) Clarus path to operations VII requirements, data management Commerce of freight operations Model for other surface modes

  9. INFORMATION BASES (QC’d DATASETS) SFC-LAND SFC-MARINE UPPER AIR- IN SITU MADIS Collection, QC, and Distribution UPPER AIR- REMOTE SENSING QUALITY CONTROL INFO & Metadata (Data QC Flags) SATELLITE GRIDDED DATA METADATA Future NOAA Data Management Transferring the MADIS functionalities from OAR Research into NWS Operations

  10. Obs Transmitted to NOAA Obs Transmitted to NOAA w/MADIS MADIS Decodes Obs Obs Received by Customers MADIS QC/ Integrates Data Customer Decodes Obs MADIS Transmits Data Sets Customer QC/ Integrates Data Customer Assimilates Data Customer Assimilates Data MADIS, the Operational Difference All Customers Must Perform Same Functions Simplifies Customer Processing

  11. NOAA’s Enterprise Partnerships: Partnering for Data, Improved Service • Thousands to millions of obs to assist decisions • Potential for numerous new applications • Input to a variety of models, forecasts and warnings – public and private • Supports forecast & model verification • Validate remote sensors • Data sharing National Surface Weather Observation System - NSWOS (Operational MADIS) NOAA and Non-NOAA Data Enterprise Servers Input Output Clarus & VII Programs Digital Database Forecast Service Detailed, Road Section, Rail, Transit, and Pipeline Specific Products Watches Warnings Advisories (county/area-specific) Research, Academic, and Transportation Interface
