Download or read book From Research to Operations in Weather Satellites and Numerical Weather Prediction written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-09-07 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1996-12-03 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floods are by far the most devastating of all weather-related hazards in the United States. The National Weather Service (NWS) is charged by Congress to provide river and flood forecasts and warnings to the public to protect life and property and to promote the nation's economic and environmental well-being (such as through support for water resources management). As part of a modernization of its technologies and organizational structure, the NWS is undertaking a thorough updating of its hydrologic products and services and the activities that produce them. The National Weather Service Modernization Committee of the National Research Council undertook a comprehensive assessment of the NWS' plans and progress for the modernization of hydrologic and hydrometeorological operations and services. The committee's conclusions and recommendations and their related analysis and rationale are presented in this report.

Book Synopsis Atmospheric Rivers by : F. Martin Ralph
Download or read book Atmospheric Rivers written by F. Martin Ralph and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the standard reference based on roughly 20 years of research on atmospheric rivers, emphasizing progress made on key research and applications questions and remaining knowledge gaps. The book presents the history of atmospheric-rivers research, the current state of scientific knowledge, tools, and policy-relevant (science-informed) problems that lend themselves to real-world application of the research—and how the topic fits into larger national and global contexts. This book is written by a global team of authors who have conducted and published the majority of critical research on atmospheric rivers over the past years. The book is intended to benefit practitioners in the fields of meteorology, hydrology and related disciplines, including students as well as senior researchers.
Book Synopsis Catchment Modeling and Initial Parameter Estimation for the National Weather Service River Forecast System by : Eugene L. Peck
Download or read book Catchment Modeling and Initial Parameter Estimation for the National Weather Service River Forecast System written by Eugene L. Peck and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The system (NWSRFS) of conceptual hydrologic models and other procedures, used in the operational river forecasting program of the United States National Weather Service, is briefly described. Complete information on the system as it existed in 1972 was published. However, since then the operational system has been expanded and revised frequently. Information on new procedures will be published in the technical literature. A major revision has been made in the soil moisture accounting for the catchment model. The components for soil moisture accounting of the Sacramento Model have replaced those of the modified Stanford Model as used in the original system. The conceptual features and characteristics of the Sacramento Model are discussed. The demonstration in the workshop of this symposium will be limited to the catchment model.

Book Synopsis Flood Damage Reduction Potential of River Forecast Services in the Connecticut River Basin by : Harold J. Day
Download or read book Flood Damage Reduction Potential of River Forecast Services in the Connecticut River Basin written by Harold J. Day and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flood plain management has been a subject of special concern in the United States for the past two decades. A river forecasting system is an integral part of a total flood plain management program. It is particularly important in those activities associated with temporary evacuation and/or floodproofing. The flood warning system associated with a river forecast system can be one of the most cost-effective alternatives for flood plain management. This study examines flood damage reduction in four carefully selected communities in the Connecticut River Basin. Using data from these communities a basin-wide extrapolation could proceed to other flood-prone communities in the basin. Properties on the flood plain were classified into residential, commercial, industrial and automobile categories. Stage damage assessments were made for those categories for four situations: no warning (NW), limited warning time (LWT), maximum practical evacuation (MPE), and floodproofing of one-story houses (FP(l)). The investigation found that approximately $750,000 of reducible damages can be expected on commercial and residential elements of the flood plain. Although reducible damages associated with industrial structures were not evaluated, elsewhere in the Nation such values often are of the same order of magnitude as residential and commercial. Total basin-wide reducible damages, therefore, undoubtedly exceed $1,500,000 per year. The present annual cost to the National Weather Service of providing river forecasts throughout the basin is approximately $75,000. A total of $200,000 per year would be adequate to provide forecast services associated with reducible damages.

Book Synopsis Flash Flood Forecasting Over Complex Terrain by : National Research Council
Download or read book Flash Flood Forecasting Over Complex Terrain written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-01-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation's network of more than 130 Next Generation Radars (NEXRADs) is used to detect wind and precipitation to help National Weather Service forecasters monitor and predict flash floods and other storms. This book assesses the performance of the Sulphur Mountain NEXRAD in Southern California, which has been scrutinized for its ability to detect precipitation in the atmosphere below 6000 feet. The book finds that the Sulphur Mountain NEXRAD provides crucial coverage of the lower atmosphere and is appropriately situated to assist the Los Angeles-Oxnard National Weather Service Forecast Office in successfully forecasting and warning of flash floods. The book concludes that, in general, NEXRAD technology is effective in mountainous terrain but can be improved.
