Outline Introduction –Mandate, Constraints –Process Themes - DRAFT Status/Next Steps

Introduction Warnings for venues –Main operational mandate – large crowds, security –Infrastructure & Efficiency – good place for business Legacy –Demonstrate advanced capabilities –Accelerate existing programs –Align and provide a focus for MSC Signature Projects Coordinate the dependencies Prototype key concepts Early deliverable Capacity build NL’s/Tech Transfer

Themes Demonstration and validation of emerging NWP and Nowcasting capabilities for urban forecasts, warnings and AQHI Demonstration, evaluation of emerging monitoring technologies for validation of emerging prediction capabilities Demonstration of use of new prediction and monitoring in the forecast/warning office of the future

Theme - Prediction 1 km and 250 model application and validation Town Energy Balance model Wind/wind shift nowcasting AQ model AQ nowcasting Health Index

Theme - Monitoring Emerging monitoring technologies to validate high resolution models in urban environment –High temporal frequency measurements –Low cost sensors –AQ supersite concept Validation of the Network of Network concepts, –Intercomparison for data quality knowledge and application –NoN Mesonet Lower tropospheric profiling technologies (thermodyanmic, air quality) –Lightning Mapping Array –Unmanned Aeronautical Vehicles –Sodat
