1. Naval Meteorology and Oceanography
** Knowing the environment to a higher precision and to a longer lead time is more important than ever to maintain our competitive advantage
** The environment affects every warfare area
** High performance computing, sensing with autonomous & unmanned systems, and partnerships with other nations, agencies, academia, and industry are our keys for success.

3. Current Strategic Drivers Seasonally Ice Free Arctic
Increasing Flooding
Water Scarcity
Extreme Drought Conditions
El Nino / La Nina
Naval Oceanography is working to answer these challenges through Navy ESPC, a fully-coupled air-ocean-land-sea ice numerical model with predictions out to 90 days.

4. Future Strategic Drivers
Anti-Access Threats
Unmanned Systems
USN-USMC Integration
Disaggregated Adaptive Force Packages
Higher End Platforms
Non-traditional Platforms
All require Higher Precision Longer Lead Time Forecasting 4

5. The Fleet Imperative To operate in a contested/denied environment
As a distributed, integrated/networked maneuver force
Customized by the characteristics of the operating environment

“When I meet with some of the great-power competitors, they are in awe of our people and are flummoxed on how they would make such a force, particularly in the near term.They have great challenges there.”

7. The Naval Oceanography Imperative
“When you look at the geography of the Eastern Mediterranean,
the Strait of Hormuz, and the Western Pacific, they all are inherently different
– and that is what individual Fleet Commanders must prepare for.”

15. Environmental Prediction A high-Velocity Learning Success Story
“When we formulate a plan, we’ve got to predict a result. Then you run it, and see what you get. What were the differences between my expected result and my actual result? And we do some gap analysis or some causal analysis and we resolve the difference. That’s learning.” -- CNO Admiral Jon Richardson, March 3, 2016
