  1. Non-Traditional and Non-WMO Observational Networks: Transitioning of the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) into Operations Jim O’Sullivan, Ph.D. NOAA Surface Weather Program OFCM CEISC December 12, 2005

  2. Presentation • Background • MADIS • Transition of MADIS into Operations • Operational Concept

  3. Background • NOAA senior management directed MADIS be transferred to operations • NOAA Surface Weather Program has lead for this activity • Transition plan consistent with new NOAA policy regarding transferring technology from research to operations

  4. Background • NOAA Surface Weather Program • Program Manager – Mr. Michael Campbell, NWS • MADIS Transition to Operations • National Surface Weather Observing System • Key to providing data management support for NWS mission • Integration of other NOAA and non-NOAA networks • NOAA essential services and customer requirements • Socio-economic study completed • FHWA/NOAA MOU

  5. NOAA’s Enterprise Partnerships:Partnering for Data, Improved Service Operational MADIS • Thousands to millions of observations to assist decisions • Potential for new GIS applications • Input to a variety of models • Supports warnings and forecasts, verification • Validate remote sensors • Data sharing NOAA and Non-NOAA Data Enterprise Servers Input Output Clarus & VII Point Digital Database Forecast Service Detailed, Road Section Specific Products Watches Warnings Advisories (county/area-specific) Enterprise/FHWA Interface

  6. MADIS

  7. MADIS Overview • Data management system that’s flexible, expandable and interoperable – an architecture for the future • Provides government and non-government mesonet, upper-air, and coastal data to NWS customers in a highly efficient manner • Transitioning MADIS to the NWSTG will provide 24x7 support and telecommunications interfaces with an offsite system backup • Leverages NOAA’s extensive infrastructure and investment

  8. MADIS Overview • Data Sets • Upper Air Observations • Radiosonde • Automated Aircraft • NOAA Profiler Network (NPN) Wind Profiler • Multi-Agency Profiler • Radiometer • Satellite Winds

  9. MADIS Overview • Data Sets - Continued • Surface Observations • Meteorological Aviation Reports (METARs) • Maritime • Surface Aviation Observations (SAOs) • Modernized Cooperative Observer Program (NERON) • Mesonet

  10. MADIS Surface Mesonet System • Current mesonet sites • = 18,894 • Current mesonets = 116 • Largest mesonets • AWS Convergence Tech. Inc. • Citizen Weather Observing Program (CWOP) • Interagency Fire Center’s Remote Automated Weather System (RAWS)

  16. Benefits of Transition • Organizes diverse data sets from multitude of sources into “data managed” sets of information bases • Simplifies data gathering and creates 1-STOP shopping for NOAA and its customers • Standardizes NOAA’s data collection, processing, etc., functions • Services NOAA’s partners, (e.g., NIDIS, DOT, etc., within architecture • Reduces overall NOAA costs • Expandable, scalable, flexible, and low-cost solution for changing conditions and technologies • Reduces requirement for new hardware, software, and communications
