GSD Expertise in local-to-global
• Research Applications– Assimilation– Modeling
• AWIPS I Development– Transition to NWS mission operations
• Evaluation– Exercises– Risk Reduction– Demonstrations
February 29, 2008 3February, 2008
AWIPS I Contributions
• End-to-End data management• Event Services• Data fusion
– Time matching– Interactive tools (sampling, animation, color-
scales, etc)• Product Generation
– Forecast Editor used to create NDFD grids– NWS Regional web farms products
• Warning Products

Risk Reduction, 1980’s
• Rapid prototype of visualization tools/techniques• Denver,CO and Norman, OK WFO
– Used operationally with existing data feeds• AFOS• WSR-88D• ISPAN
• Demonstrated feasibility of fully integrated data sets• H/W, S/W Remained in WFO until AWIPS I
replacement
February 29, 2008 5February, 2008
Exercises, 1990’s
• AWIPS proposed H/W suite for WFO• Simulated data feeds
– ISPAN, AFOS, WSR-88D• 3-week, on-site office simulation
– Forecaster shifts– Routine product creation– Forecasters evaluation
• Observer• End-of-shift questionaire• End-of-exercise discussion group

Rapid Prototype Process, 2000’s
• Gridded Forecast Editor (GFE) used for NDFD weather elelments
• On-site workshops conducted for training• ~20 WFO sites used for deploying experimental
software
February 29, 2008 7February, 2008
Demonstrations, 2000’s
• Project we cannot name• Aviation Terminal Decision aids
– Ft Worth– Leesburg
• Volcanic Ash Coordination Tool– Alaska

Lessons Learned
• Evaluate empirically– Usage logs– Questionaires– Observation
• Comprehensive examples of products• Real-time Real-time Real-time
– Simulate real-time data feeds as much as possible• Account for seasonal/daily applications
– Visible during day– Winter/Summer

• Original Requirement for AWIPS– 36 frames looped in 30 seconds
(1987 AWIPS-90 requirements doc)
• Current System– 32 frames, 10 - 25 seconds to load– Read/display/animate
Performance Requirements
February 29, 2008 26February, 2008
Data Access
• Systematic Test and Evaluation– Lots of model runs required
• Developmental Testbed Center• Access to data for
– Initialization– Verification– Visualization
• Global• Regional• Local
