  3. AMS Board Structure Climate and Weather Enterprise Commission Board on Enterprise Communication Ad Hoc Committee on Climate Services

  4. ACCS – Board Membership

  5. Questions to discuss … • HOW do we reach out to members of the Enterprise? • Once we reach them, WHAT do we have to offer? • If the goal of the outreach is better communications, HOW is this achieved?

  6. AMS Town Hall MeetingJanuary 17, 2007 San Antonio • Presentations from … • Edward O’Lenic – NOAA / NWS / CPC • Todd Anderson – Dominion Energy • John A. Dutton – Weather Ventures, Ltd. • Arthur DeGaetano – Northeast Regional Climate Center

  7. AMS Town Hall MeetingJanuary 17, 2007 San Antonio Some Successes include .. • Internet availability of data and research • Climate Forecast System • Weather derivatives • RISAs (Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments) • ARCs (Applied Research Centers) • RCCs (Regional Climate Centers)

  8. AMS Town Hall MeetingJanuary 17, 2007 San Antonio Some Concerns include .. • Internet has security and reliability issues • Climate data is the basic requirement and needs to be quality controlled, standardized and made reliable. • Small businesses need to be included in the Enterprise. • NOAA needs to rethink priorities (NPOESS climate instruments cancellation, GOES-R sounder uncertainties, lag in updating observations and climate signals that feed models).

  9. AMS Town Hall MeetingJanuary 17, 2007 San Antonio Town Hall Feedback … • There is a strong need to better define priorities and then the resultant roles including partnerships. • NOAA needs assistance from the community in helping prioritize needs and this is confounded by the dynamic nature of the field.

  10. AMS Town Hall MeetingJanuary 17, 2007 San Antonio More Town Hall Feedback … Local communications could be enhanced through use of current infrastructure. • Regional Climate Centers • American Association of State Climatologists • NWS Weather Forecast Offices • River Forecast Centers • AMS Local Chapters

  11. What’s Next for the ACCS? • Climate Services (CS) suddenly a BIG deal! • New CS questions such as water supply, regional warming, sea level, etc. • Identify these NEW community priorities within Climate Services. • Strive for common themes when advocating issues and remain consistent with message(s).

  12. What’s Next for the ACCS? • Develop a “standard” presentation to be delivered at local focal points – could be a Power Point or Webcast resource. • Explore possible article about ACCS for inclusion in BAMS. • Pursue use of on-line availability of ACCS information / activities through AMS servers. • Feasibility of electronic Newsletter distributed through AMS and other local venues.
