- CHPS CHPS? Collaboration Opportunity? Community Hydrologic
Prediction System Water Resources Forecasting Program: CHPS will
engage NOAA and the external (federal and non-federal) research
community to advance water prediction science . and will augment
NOAAs capabilities to produce higher resolution water quantity and
quality forecasts and information. - Gary Carter NYCDEP Operations
Support Tool (OST) OST will enable operators to more accurately
predict storage levels to better manage movement of water through
the reservoir system, and ultimately, to 9 million New Yorkers. "We
look forward to collaboration with NYCDEP. The NWS helps New York
manage its regional water resources effectively by providing
high-quality hydrologic data and forecasts. Implementation of OST
holds great promise to strengthen this partnership. - Jack
Hayes

- Collaborative Research Model: O2R2O O2R: Operations to Research
Planning: Survey Operational Forecasters What are the most
challenging forecast scenarios? Where can research benefit
operations? Communication what new capabilities do researchers
bring? Development: Formulate hypotheses, science questions
Involvement: Collaborative interactions during research

- Collaborative Research Model: O2R2O R2O: Research to Operations
Step 1 Discover & Share (only the beginning) A paper is not the
end product: rather it is only the beginning Step 2 Demonstrate
added value (so what? show me!) Forecasters wont use discovery
until added value has been demonstrated Step 3 Operational
Implementation (practical?) User friendly, reliable, &
efficient accessibility is a must. Step 4 Mastery (by all, not just
a few) Training & QC ensuring the effective utilization of
discovery by the entire forecast staff is required. Step 5
Periodical review (a necessity) Periodical review for the staff at
least seasonal necessity.
