Social Science Partner ResearchSocial Science Woven into Meteorology (SSWIM) SSWIM brought on board 2009
Preliminary Results from Current Research shared at AMS 2011
Today, provide a brief overview of the social science component and share several practical applications for the Hazard Services prototype design.

Project History
• 2004 OSIP Project / Next Generation Warning Tool team
– Telecons for Concept and Requirements discussions 2008 Workshop Norman OK, 130 attendees
http://www.weather.gov/warningworkshop
– 50% NWS / 50% partners (FEMA, EM’s, etc.) 2009 Integrated Hazard Information Services
Workshop hosted by GSD, 70 attendees http://fxa.noaa.gov/NGWT/NGWT_Workshop.html
– Forecasters / partners / developers / social scientists
– Initial User Interface designed for prototyping
• 2010 Prototyping – Web-based short-fused tornado warning
– Established basic user interface through rapid forecaster feedback
– Looking ahead to two-way communication
13
Project History
• 2011 Prototype work– AWIPS II CAVE Prototypes – short-fused, long-
fused, hydro
– Utilization of PGEN drawing tools
– GIS data – hospitals, Iris spotter reports, Census
– Design and partial development for “Live Data”
– Web-based prototype (prior to May)
– Attended IWT Workshop – Hydro/Partners
• 2011 Workshops– Attended IWT Workshop – Hydro/Partners
– Hazard Services Workshop II (Sept) – Engaged user community and began defining IOC requirements

Integrated Hazard Information Services
Moving from Product-Centric to Information-Centric Hazard Information
Still need to store both legacy VTEC (Valid Time Event Code) product-centric information along with “atomic” information-centric information.

Next Steps and Future Work

Summary of Prototyping Work
– Prototyping has• “Touched on” ~60% of requirements• Provided a good launching point for gathering
functional requirements and IOC design• Yet only covers ~20% of the functionality
30
Future Work
-- Integrated GSD / RTS team for Phase 1 production development
-- Goals: OSIP Gate 3 and IOC -- Development Tasks
– Data Transformation Framework for algorithms such as Recommenders and Text Products
– Database Solution – working with Iris team on storage formats, security, authentication
– User Interface and Forecast Process – common GUI for efficient and accurate hazard generation
• Common Data Access• Common Tools – iTools, Recommenders, Text Products• Collaboration
• Real-time• Data Sharing
• National Data “Cloud”
