National Weather Service NWS Provision of Information in Geospatial Formats Ken Waters NOAA/National Weather Service Honolulu, Hawaii Partners Workshop, January 18, 2007

National Weather Service 2 Strategic Vision Vision NRC "Fair Weather" report (2003): NWS should make its observational data, models, and other products available in Internet- accessible digital form...the information should be stored in a standard format that can be accessed by the public and used by all those involved in the weather and climate enterprise. NWS Strategic Plan for : Investigate, develop, and expand the use of new technologies in data management and information systems, such as new internet-based standards and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to accelerate development and implementation of appropriate NWS and NOAA products and services and to integrate these services in ways that are meaningful to our customers Goals: Take advantage of the power and advantages of using GIS Consistent NWS Enterprise GIS dissemination Based on widely used standards (OGC, etc.) Technology-driven evolution coordinated with partners/users Challenges: Allocating limited NWS resources most effectively Maintaining consistent dissemination model and ensuring coordinated, orderly evolution

National Weather Service 3 Current Status of GIS Requirements Process (OSIP) project in system Many projects: Range of formats, access modes Experimental services developed at HQ, NCEP, and the field Many involve collaboration with organizations outside NWS Exploring ways to exploit GIS Verification (Polygon warning, QPE, etc.), next-generation product creation software, etc. Examples of NWS GIS information RIDGE radar Warning Polygons Flood Outlook NDFD - Fire Weather Precipitation Estimates Tropical Cyclones

National Weather Service 4 RIDGERIDGE Georeferenced Downloadable RADAR data Experimental KML Displayed in GIS program with local data

National Weather Service 5 Warning Polygons Severe Thunderstorms, Tornado, Flash Flood, & Special Marine Available as a zipped shapefile file Displayed in Local GIS application Data also used by NWS for polygon verification GIS verification of tornado warnings Warnings For One Week as of Jan 14, 2007

National Weather Service 6 RFCRFC Flood Outlook product as shapefile

National Weather Service 7 NDFD/ Fire Weather GRIB2 & DeGRIB Decoder Feature Server (IMS, WFS) for Fire weather Temperature forecast for 10/18/06 18Z for SW US States and interstate highways added from AWIPS shapefiles

National Weather Service 8 Precipitation Estimates QPE Shapefile NetCDF QPF Zipped shapefile

National Weather Service 9 Tropical Cyclones EM-Hurr IMS image and feature servers Prototype intragovernmental use only Storm Surge operational storm surge data in GIS format
