Meeting Objectives • Reach consensus on: • Scope: Define the strategic activities for which major segments of the community are expecting DTC to provide services or functions. Map to DTC goals. • Management: Define appropriate management structure to operate DTC and meet agency requirements for resource oversight. • Resources: Develop conceptual plan for shared resource commitments. Provide guidance identifying highest priority services/functions vs. likely resources. • Staff: Assign PC and DTC Director task of developing proposal for staffing plan that defines minimum level of resources necessary to sustain a DTC providing highest-priority services and functions identified by member agencies.
WRF Vision • WRF is… • an inter-organizational partnership to create and sustain… • The next-generation mesoscale NWP modeling system for • research and operations • A common modeling infrastructure that facilitates operational • NWP collaboration, scientific “interoperability” and accelerates the transfer of new science from research into operations • A repeatable process that continuously infuses innovations • and capabilities into the community mesoscale NWP modeling system
WRF Three-phase Strategy • Phase 1: Develop and implement WRF as the next-generation mesoscale NWP modeling system, infrastructure and process… • - To activate inter-organizational collaborations between • research and operations • - To streamline the transfer of new science into both research and operations • Phase 2: Use the WRF process and infrastructure to sustain the flow of new science and technology into the WRF modeling system to improve operations and to open new research opportunities • Phase 3: Extend the WRF collaboration into other modeling areas of mutual interest—e.g., Ocean modeling, Global modeling, Diagnostic and Statistical post-processing
