Delivering Digital Services NextGen Web Service Implementation by the National Weather Service Ryan Solomon Project Manager NOAA NextGen IT Web Services Date:August 28, 2014

Project highlights OGC-compliant web services Standard formats – – NetCDF 4 Classic CF – IWXXM, IWXXM-US, WXXM Redundant high availability state of the art data centers – College Park – Boulder Experienced in delivery of operational capabilities – NCEP Central Operations 2

Project approach Build it and they will come 3 “There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.” - FDR

Project approach 4 money + iron + people + hard work = RESULTS
