2. Major NWS Telecom Initiatives • Integrated Dissemination Strategy (IDS) • Resetting all dissemination requirements from a services orientation – technology agnostic • Corporate level solutions provided as a utility • Focus on dissemination but acquisition will be driven by same business model • Telecommunication Gateway (RTH, GISC, plus) re-architecture / replacement • Full functional replacement including backups • Full redesign - addresses WIS, NextGen, other rqs • Technology and infrastructure both on the block • Both subject to funding holds, planning ongoing

13. Regional WIGOS Implementation Planning • WIGOS framework planning is at national, regional and global levels within the existing financial period (ending 2015) • Two foci: • First and primary - establishment of mechanisms, procedures, collaboration and structures to establish the framework to manage the maintenance, update and evolution of observing systems from requirements to service delivery with a focus on integration across multiple component systems, activities and delivered products and services.

14. Regional WIGOS Implementation Planning • First focus continued: • Observing system management then self-sustaining and continues to evolve as a normal operational activity • “Implementation Phase” then over, “Operational Phase” will be ongoing. • Second focus: • Actual start and execution of activities as determined and prioritized by appropriate bodies to meet the goals of WIGOS.

15. Regional WIGOS Implementation Planning • The two foci should be documented in Regional WIGOS Implementation Plans (RWIP) • Activities, deliverables, timelines, responsibilities, costs and risks should be identified • Plans will serve as primary tool to record and guide the regional implementation • Expected to be maintained and updated as needed throughout the process. • RAs I, II and V have met and started work on their Regional WIGOS Implementation Plan (RWIP)

16. Regional WIGOS Implementation Planning • RA-III/IV Regional WIGOS Implementation Plan meeting - 26-30 November, 2012 in Costa Rica • RA-III & IV will have separate plans,but will share some common activities. • Exchange of existing AWS already agreed from a previous TECO • Continue work on improving exchange of RADAR products with a focus on sharing regional RADAR imagery for generation of regional RADAR mosaics

17. Regional WIGOS Implementation Planning • RA-III/IV RWIP continued: • Improving availability and utilization of AMDAR data • Improving availability and utilization of observation metadata • Improving availability and utilization of high resolution radiosonde data. • Requirements from the RA-IV Hurricane Operations Plan, marine programs and regional flash flood projects.
