  1. The Future of the Weather Event Simulator (WES) and NWS Case Playback and Simulation Capabilities Michael Magsig12 Weather Event Simulator Project Lead 1Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS) 2also affiliated with NOAA’s Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB)

  2. Outline • WES • Background • Future Releases • WES5.0 (July 2005) • WES6.0+ (October 2005) • Integration into AWIPS Baseline

  3. Components of WES • WES software • Essentially a data pump and AWIPS interface • Developed/maintained by CIMMS/WDTB (not AWIPS) due to unfulfilled Requirements White Papers • AWIPS Software • Repackaged from official AWIPS release CDs • *FSL recompiles some code for WarnGen to work on flat files + + + Offline Linux Workstation Archived Weather Case and Training Linux AWIPS WES Software

  4. WESSL • WES Scripting Language • Trigger non-AWIPS data in a simulation • Images, video, maps, queries • Beginning of new learning/evaluation tools

  5. AWIPS Simulation Functionality in WES SCAN SCIT Table and DMD D2D: radar, satellite, LAPS, MSAS notifications Warngen FFMP

  6. WES5.0 Features • AWIPS OB5 • TDWR, new FSL DMD display, etc *OB5.0 Drawbacks • FFMP, SCAN, and DMD data all changed format in OB5 • Must recreate all old data sets

  7. WES5.0 Features • WES • 15 second processing better simulates radar tilts • “enhanced_case_review” application • Starts AWIPS decoders needed to enable fully functioning FFMP/SCAN tables in case review mode (no simulation) • Misc bug fixes and minor improvements

  8. WES6.0+ • GFE/GHG • Replay archived grids • Develop ways to archive grids • D2D and GFE in sync

  9. WES6.0+ • ORPG • Level II data from NCDC as input • First implementation to allow creation of products for case generation • Future versions integrate into simulations • Cross sections • Experimental algorithms

  10. WES6.0+ • Hydrological Apps • If WES integrates Postgres • RFC “SHARE” • WFO hydro apps

  11. WES6.0+ • Future evaluation tools

  12. Integration Into AWIPS Baseline • “DRT” Displaced Real Time • Voted #1 priority in New Science category for OB5 AWIPS development • Project abandoned in OB5-7 • AWIPS SREC: OB8 • Back on AWIPS SREC list • First must survive OSIP

  13. Parting Thoughts • WES platform can be used for technology and training infusion • CIMMS/WDTB will continue to develop AWIPS training capabilities in WES until AWIPS baseline develops them • Can start to close the gap between training version and real-time version if AWIPS establishes training functionality into infrastructure • Data backward compatibility • Old and new functionality • WDTB longer term future focus more on high-level learning and evaluation tools
