Presentation Transcript

  1. NoN Recommendations: Measurements and Infrastructure • Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) • Update Current Services and Capabilities • Product Improvement • NOAA’s Integrated Observing Enterprise • FY 2009 “National Mesonet” Status

  2. MADIS Current Services and Capabilities Services • MADIS supports the collection, integration, quality control, and distribution of thousands of NOAA and non-NOAA observations, including over 61K surface stations from local, state, and federal agencies, and private networks, as well as upper-air datasets including multi-agency profiler, radiosonde, radiometer, selected satellite observations, and commercial aircraft observations. • Surface data includes METAR, maritime, HCN-M, UrbaNet, and other mesonet • Profiler data includes NOAA Profiler Network and Cooperating Agency Profilers • Aircraft data includes MDCRS, AMDAR, TAMDAR, and WVSS-2 Data Portfolio • 61,172 Surface Stations producing over 12,800,000 observations/day • 154 Profiler Sites (> 200,000 obs/day) • Over 450,000 aircraft observations/day • Plus global radiosonde and satellite obs Hundreds of MADIS Users, Including: NWS Forecast Offices and National Centers, other federal, state and local government agencies, universities and private companies Transition to NWS Operations • Initial Operating Capability FY 2010-Q3 • Full Operating Capability FY 2011-Q3

  3. MADIS Product Improvement • High Priority Product Improvement Areas: • 1) Advanced data query services, • 2) Expanded metadata fields, • 3) Additional environmental datasets, and • 4) Improved and expanded observation quality control • Key Mission Applications: • NOAA Operations • Next Generation NOAA Profiler Network (NGNPN): Current • UrbaNet: Current • Historic Climate Network-Modernized (HCN-M): Current • NextGen, includes high frequency ASOS: Current • National Surface Weather Observing System (NSWOS)/FHWA Support for CLARUS Transition: FY11-13 • Establish MADIS Mesonet Archive at NCDC: FY11-13 • MesoWest Transition: FY12-13 • Boundary Layer Observations: SODAR, LIDAR, Tall Towers, Wind Profilers, AMDAR – FY11-14 • Enhanced Data Visualization/Data Characterization using Relational Databases: FY12-15 NOAA Research • Unmanned Aerial System Data Management • Testbeds (HMT, DTC, Severe Weather Testbed) • Fire Weather Mobile Observations • DHS research support for geo-targeted observations and forecasts

  4. Approach to a NOAA Integrated Observing Enterprise • Create efficient and sustainable metadata collection methods – GSD MADIS • Build a metadata catalog and repository – GSD MADIS • Develop web services, including the ability to data mine metadata database (NextGen) – GSD MADIS • Integrate enhanced metadata into the application environment, e.g., filtering and fitting, sensitivity testing – • NWS NCEP (GDAS) • NWS OST (MOS) • OAR ERSL (Rapid Refresh) • OAR ARL (READY) • Goal: Understand and document the service benefits of enhanced metadata (e.g. achieving Walt Dabberdt’s “value chain”) • Assess observing system gaps (re: NRC Report) – NWS OST • Demonstrate an end-to-end capability, metadata requirements, project management – NWS OST • Strengthen partnerships with AMS, OFCM, WMO, etc., and Weather Enterprise – NWS OST

  5. FY 2009 “National Mesonet” Status • Task 1. Proto-type real-time mobile data collection from commercial trucking operators • Develop data and metadata exchange protocols with trucking fleet operators • Develop consistency checks, QA methods for mobile platform engineering data • Create synthetic observations from engineering data (wind shield wipers = rain) • GSA RFQ Posted – Proposal(s) received, contract award pending • Task 2. National Mesonet • Establish Tiers of Performance (TOP) informed by service outcomes • Define TOP based on degree of compliance with metadata and siting standards • Develop efficient and Sustainable Metadata Collection Methods • Priorities: • Central/South U.S. • Gap filling surface observations (atmospheric, soil) • Describing temperature and wind parameters using enhanced metadata for temperature and wind parameters • Demonstrate end-to-end capability chain for gathering and exploiting metadata resulting in improved services • GSA RFP Posted, comments received. GSA RFQ Pending (Friday), award early September 2009. • Task 3. Deliver Report on National Mesonet to Congress (submitted)
