1 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Utilizing your School Network John McLaughlin KCCI-TV, Des Moines, IA Daryl Herzmann Iowa State University

2 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu KCCI SchoolNet8 Overview  51 stations have been installed since Dec 2000  Each station reports continuously to the Internet  Generating over 500,000 page views per month  Increased KCCI's visibility in rural communities and ratings dominance

10 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Integration with FasTrac / Baron Hydro

11 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu But now what?  Too much data to watch!  Manual relay of information to the NWS difficult during severe weather coverage  Management of the network difficult  Then along came the Iowa Environmental Mesonet.

12 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu The Iowa Environmental Mesonet  Project of Iowa State University to collect data from the many observing platforms in the state.  We have built an extensive and diverse real- time monitoring network utilizing existing resources.  KCCI SchoolNet8 is a very important component of our Mesonet.

13 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Building our Partnership Public Sector Private Sector Academia Double Hydro-Obs RealTime Analysis Wind Gust Reports Data source Real-time Outreach to K12 Data Processing Programming Visibility

14 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Data Formats

15 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Data Distribution  Academic community via UNIDATA LDM  General public via web / HTTP  GIS community  Downloadable shapefiles  Publicly available Spatial Database  WMS/WFS web services

16 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Why share your school data?  Increases visibility for your network  Increases value of site to local community  Motivates schools to maintain and use the data  Local community supports and monitors the site via your TV station and website!  Builds goodwill with your collaborators

17 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu IEM SchoolNet8: Value added  Average wind data for better analysis  QC the data through FSL MADIS project  Archive every observation, available for download  IEM Tracker, tracks meta-data  Reformat data for wide spread use

18 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu IEM SchoolNet8: Value added  Integration with Super Doppler on the web  Wind gusts alerts  Audible alarm at the studio  Audible/Text alert at the NWS  Email alerts for anybody on the internet!  Other unique web applications

21 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu RADAR! CAMERA! OB!

22 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Textual and Graphical Current Conditions!

23 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Where is it raining? Combine live radar with live SchoolNet 15 minute rainfall accumulations. Great tool for evaluating rainfall intensities. Great tool for finding sites with plugged tipping buckets!

24 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Dynamic RADAR + SchoolNet8

25 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Alerting the NWS

26 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Your SchoolNet @ work  18 June 2003: Nevada SchoolNet  Early afternoon with widespread thunderstorm activity.  Automated wind alert system comes through!

27 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu RADAR Loop

28 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu At 1:34 PM, an alert is generated ======================= KCCI SchoolNet8 Wind Gust Alert ------------------------------- Time: 01:34 pm -- 18 June 2003 Site: NEVADA COMMUNITY Gust: 58 MPH

29 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu At 1:37 PM, the NWS warns 137 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2003 THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN DES MOINES HAS ISSUED A * SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR... EASTERN STORY COUNTY IN CENTRAL IOWA * UNTIL 230 PM CDT 7 MILES WEST OF COLLINS AROUND 150 PM AND NEAR MAXWELL AROUND 155 PM. DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR ARE LIKELY IN THE WARNED AREA. THE KCCI SCHOOLNET SITE IN NEVADA REPORTED 58 MPH WINDS AT 134 PM.

34 Summary  Get your Baron NWN built  Get FasTrac and plot those sites in real-time on air with your RADAR blowing away your competition.  Partner up to widely distribute the data (I can help here)  Wait, there's more!

35 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Introducing... InsecTrac TM

36 http://kcci.mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Web-Cameras  KCCI currently has 3 on-line, more coming  Real-time integration with FasTrac  Some example lapses...
