February 17-19, 2009 National Weather Center Norman, Oklahoma February 17-19, 2009 National Weather Center Norman, Oklahoma National Severe Storms Laboratory Review

Jeff Kimpel Director Wrap Up

3 NSSL Laboratory Review February 17-19, 2009 Relevance: 20 Year Research Vision Warn-on- Forecast Phased Array Radar “…tornado warning lead times will be on the order of one hour, rather than minutes…” “Technology like the phased array radar, significant improvements in our understanding of mesoscale weather processes, and the development of models that embody this understanding will enable this [1 hour tornado warning lead times] accomplishment.” “Severe thunderstorm and tornado track forecasts at the sub-county level with one hour or more lead time…”

4 NSSL Laboratory Review February 17-19, 2009 Relevance: 5 Year Research Plan NOAA Relevant Mission Goal: “Serve Society’s Needs for Weather and Water Information” NSSL is contributing to all 7 Performance Objectives

5 NSSL Laboratory Review February 17-19, 2009 Relevance: 5 Year Research Plan “Improve Weather Forecast & Warning Accuracy & Amount of Lead-time” Develop prototype PAR applications for tornado warnings… Provide decision-support services based upon probabilistic model guidance for coastal officials for storm surge… Testbed… Improved detection of severe storms using low-altitude, high-res Doppler data Deploy dual polarization… Implement a field project in Lower Miss/Gulf of Mexico…water quality/quantity Probabilistic forecasts for hazardous weather and explore Warn-on-Forecast “Improve Water Resources Forecasting Capabilities” Deliver echo classification scheme to improve QPE using Dual Pol. radar Evaluate community-wide rainfall-runoff distributed hydrologic models Improve AHPS through multi-sensor QPE (Q2), including Dual Pol. and radar mosaics (NMQ) “Improve understanding & forecast capability in coasts, estuaries, & oceans” Demonstrate a transition zone modeling system to integrate river, estuarine, and coastal models NOAA Relevant Mission Goal: “Serve Society’s Needs for Weather and Water Information”

6 NSSL Laboratory Review February 17-19, 2009 Quality Many Quality Indicators but it is the people, the men and women of NSSL that make this a quality organization. Publication metric Awards, service to professional societies are strong. What sets NSSL apart: Number and importance of collaborations with Universities, DOD, DOT, DHS, private companies. Collocation with five NWS customers. Other connections to stakeholders. Contributions to educating the next generation of scientists.

7 NSSL Laboratory Review February 17-19, 2009 Performance NSSL is a leader among NOAA laboratories in successfully transferring research and technology into the operational NWS. Doppler weather radar is now available in most large and medium sized television market areas. Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg made a movie based on our science and way of doing research. It is the only Spielberg movie where the scientists were the “good guys”.

8 NSSL Laboratory Review February 17-19, 2009 Challenges Aging scientific workforce Difficulty in attracting PhD Electrical Engineers Diversifying scientific workforce Cultural differences with the NWS. NSSL takes the long view while NWS’ needs are more immediate. Encouraging creativity within the research environment vs. accountability and process oriented management.
