OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research (WG/TCR) Midcourse Review Dr. Frank Marks (NOAA) and Dr. Ron Ferek (Navy) Co-Chairs, Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research (WG/TCR) 1

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR History of JAG/TCR February 2005: Federal Coordinator formed Joint Action Group for Tropical Cyclone Research (JAG/TCR) February 2007: JAG/TCR culminated with publication of Interagency Strategic Research Plan for Tropical Cyclones: The Way Ahead Highlights of Interagency Plan –Chapter 4 summarizes operational tropical cyclone forecast and warning centers (TPC/NHC, CPHC, JTWC) needs: 2 o Table 4-1: Operational Priorities of TC Forecasting & Warning Centers –Chapter 5 presents research priorities to meet those needs o Table 5-1: Research Priorities in Atmospheric and Ocean Science

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR History of WG/TCR Key Finding / Recommendations –Chapter 6 recommended TC research coordination that would: o Monitor and update operational needs of the tropical cyclone forecast and warning centers (Table 4-1) o Monitor and update research priorities (Table 5-1) o Develop a multiagency research implementation plan that outlines specific strategies to address all the operational priorities (Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research (WG/TCR) 3

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR WG/TCR Objectives / Tasks Keep Tables 4-1 and 5-1 updated  Table 4-1: Ops priorities (became Table 1)  Table 5-1: Research needs (became Table 2) Map agency meteorological research efforts against TC research needs and operational priorities Analyze / compare results Develop interagency implementation strategy  Leverage agency existing plans / resources to ensure priorities are addressed Update information at IHC 4

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR Man-years by Agency +40%-19% +14% Snapshot (Total Man-years: 211) 2010 Snapshot (Total Man-years: 296) 2012 Snapshot (Total Man-years: 240)

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR NOAA Total $23,936 HFIP 2008 Snapshot Total: $50,155K 2010 Snapshot Total: $76,658K Field Experiments: PREDICT, GRIP, IFEX, ITOP & Research Computer System (HFIP) 2012 Snapshot Total: $54,931K HFIP NOAA Total $16,990 Field Experiments: IFEX, HS3 & Research Computer System (HFIP) Field Experiments: IFEX, TCS-08 Total Support by Agency +53% -28% +10% Cuts to HMA & UAS R&D Cuts to HMA & UAS R&D 6

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR Analysis of Tropical Cyclone R&D Three snapshots that captured R&D activities  Represents the spectrum of R&D across the community  Research influenced by ops priorities; provides mechanism for essential feedback Intensity change is still #1 operational priority  Research (basic and applied) is still required, as this is a very difficult and complex problem With HFIP and four major field experiments, R&D increased markedly in 2010 snapshot compared to 2008 snapshot  Deltas between 2008 and 2010 not only reflect HFIP, but changing emphasis of field experiments HFIP cuts and fewer major field experiments resulted in a sharp decrease in R&D from 2010 snapshot to 2012 snapshot  Deltas between 2010 and 2012 not only reflect HFIP cuts & less emphasis on field experiments, but reduced emphasis on NOAA UAS and Surge R&D. 7

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR We have a process to:  Keep the operational priorities updated  Assess and evaluate how research is contributing to those priorities  Allow research managers to make informed decisions for future investments  Facilitate interagency collaboration and coordination Starting to see interesting results from R&D Raises awareness of the importance of R2O Assess JAG/TCR recommendations progress (Table 6.2) Analysis of Tropical Cyclone R&D 8

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR JAG/TCR Recommendations 9 HFIP WG/TCR

OFCM-Sponsored Working Group for Tropical Cyclone Research WG/TCR JAG/TCR Recommendations 10 JAG/TCR recommendations progress (Table 6.2) o Progress addressing recommendations 1 & 2 o Recommendations 3, 4, & 5 needs more attention
