Need focused effort to capture proliferating surface weather observations and incorporate into National database; need to consider: –Equipment (fixed, mobile, remote) Siting criteria Include legacy systems –Communications (incorporate ITS Architecture) Protocol and standardization –Data Standards Quality control Availability (redistribution) Archiving Need an examination of the private / public roles and responsibilities Need focused effort to capture proliferating surface weather observations and incorporate into National database; need to consider: –Equipment (fixed, mobile, remote) Siting criteria Include legacy systems –Communications (incorporate ITS Architecture) Protocol and standardization –Data Standards Quality control Availability (redistribution) Archiving Need an examination of the private / public roles and responsibilities OVERARCHING ISSUES

Need to enhance public outreach and education –Build coalition with media –Leverage opportunities through organizational / association conferences –Create interdisciplinary curricula Need to enhance technology transfer process (concepts, capabilities, practices, tools) –Government and civil sector (e.g., DoD, National labs and other entities) Need to enhance public outreach and education –Build coalition with media –Leverage opportunities through organizational / association conferences –Create interdisciplinary curricula Need to enhance technology transfer process (concepts, capabilities, practices, tools) –Government and civil sector (e.g., DoD, National labs and other entities) OVERARCHING ISSUES

Need weather information that is timely, accurate, and relevant Must tailor weather information to client decision support needs – Must focus on impacts to mission Need to revolutionize dissemination systems –Real-time information in the “cab” (RTIC) –Push / pull, Web-based, etc. Need dedicated / focused R&D program –Must have mechanism to identify research priorities Need weather information that is timely, accurate, and relevant Must tailor weather information to client decision support needs – Must focus on impacts to mission Need to revolutionize dissemination systems –Real-time information in the “cab” (RTIC) –Push / pull, Web-based, etc. Need dedicated / focused R&D program –Must have mechanism to identify research priorities OVERARCHING ISSUES

Publish symposium proceedings by February 2001 Complete compilation of WIST requirements and publish requirements document by June 2001 OFCM will focus efforts on solving surface weather observation issues Participate in activities to enhance public outreach and education Use established WIST JAG to develop strategy on remaining issues Publish symposium proceedings by February 2001 Complete compilation of WIST requirements and publish requirements document by June 2001 OFCM will focus efforts on solving surface weather observation issues Participate in activities to enhance public outreach and education Use established WIST JAG to develop strategy on remaining issues NEXT STEPS / ACTION PLAN
