From Research to Operations in Weather Satellites and Numerical Weather Prediction
This workshop report examines the capability of the forecast system to efficiently transfer weather and climate research findings into improved operational forecast capabilities. It looks in particular at the Environmental Modeling Center of the National Weather Service and environmental observational satellite programs. Using these examples, the report identifies several shortcomings in the capability to transition from research to operations. Successful transitions from R&D to operational implementation requires (1) understanding of the importance (and risks) of the transition, (2) development and maintenance of appropriate transition plans, (3) adequate resource provision, and (4) continuous feedback (in both directions) between the R&D and operational activities.
National Weather Service (NWS) Modernization Program Status : Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment of the Committee on Science, U.S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, February 29, 1996
The weather became a national concern in the latter half of the 20th century and into the 21st century, when fears arose regarding the consequences of human waste on the environment. With weather technology advanced so far as to incorporate global satellites, the government held regular meeting to ensure the systems used were as modern as possible.
