Outline

• Introduction– Mandate, Constraints– Process

• Themes - DRAFT

• Status/Next Steps

Introduction

• Warnings for venues – Main operational mandate – large crowds, security– Infrastructure & Efficiency – good place for business

• Legacy– Demonstrate advanced capabilities– Accelerate existing programs– Align and provide a focus for MSC Signature Projects

• Coordinate the dependencies• Prototype key concepts• Early deliverable• Capacity build NL’s/Tech Transfer

Themes

• Demonstration and validation of emerging NWP and Nowcasting capabilities for urban forecasts, warnings and AQHI

• Demonstration, evaluation of emerging monitoring technologies for validation of emerging prediction capabilities

• Demonstration of use of new prediction and monitoring in the forecast/warning office of the future

Theme - Prediction

• 1 km and 250 model application and validation

• Town Energy Balance model

• Wind/wind shift nowcasting• AQ model• AQ nowcasting• Health Index

Theme - Monitoring• Emerging monitoring technologies to

validate high resolution models in urban environment

– High temporal frequency measurements

– Low cost sensors– AQ supersite concept

• Validation of the Network of Network concepts,

– Intercomparison for data quality knowledge and application

– NoN Mesonet• Lower tropospheric profiling

technologies (thermodyanmic, air quality)

– Lightning Mapping Array– Unmanned Aeronautical Vehicles– Sodat

Theme – Office of the Future

• Man-machine mix– When automation is good enough– When and how to intervene

• Ownership of the end product in a “production data base” concept – metObjects

• Event based warnings• Deployment and use of

advanced NinJo features• Use of high res NWP, EPS• Need to prototype complex ideas

before development of operational specification and deployment!
