  1. NWS Roadmap Science & Technology NWS Partners Meeting Brad Colman Marie Lovern June 29, 2011

  2. Overview of the S&T Plan • S&T empowers NWS Strategic Plan and Service Plan – S&T advances categorized as six “Priority Capabilities” • Teams were structured around these capabilities and involved NOAA-wide collaboration • The successful implementation of this plan will require Enterprise collaboration, and provide: • Resources for decision support services • Foundational data sets and guidance information • Business opportunities Making the extraordinary ordinary

  3. Priority Capabilities Situational Awareness: An enhanced awareness and commonly shared view of the current (and forecast) environment and related hazards Numerical Guidance: State-of-the-science improvements in predictability and objective estimates of forecast confidence (uncertainty) Forecast Confidence: High-quality forecast confidence estimates from analyses and forecasts for customized risk assessment and decision making Making the extraordinary ordinary

  4. Priority Capabilities • Forecast and Knowledge Management Platform: New capabilities and enhancements to AWIPS II-CHPS platforms to support future forecasting and IDSS • Information Technology: High performance computing upgrades for operations and research; extensible, scalable and cost-effective infrastructure; discoverable, interoperable data and information • Research to Operations (and O2R): Successfully leverage cross-cutting and R2O/O2R efforts Making the extraordinary ordinary

  5. A few targeted highlights A real-time mesoscale analysis: A state-of-the-science very high resolution gridded analysis (~1km grid spacing at 15 min updates) of all environmental variables. Advances in numerical guidance: Advances ranging from storm-scale weather prediction models to far-reaching environmental earth system models. Fully calibrated forecast confidence information: Fully accessible and dynamic estimates of forecast confidence for multiple elements for short-to-medium forecast ranges Making the extraordinary ordinary

  6. Accomplishments and Next Steps Kicked off content development effort in April Completed internal roadmap team review on 20 June and incorporating comments now Advisory Board review: end July 2011 Corporate Board review of entire Roadmap: August 2011 Successfully leveraging OAR laboratories, COTS, Test Beds, and Proving Grounds External engagement to socialize NWS Roadmap Making the extraordinary ordinary

  7. Questions Making the extraordinary ordinary
