Inventory Of Collaborative Activities Current collaborative activities are online in the following areas instruction at BHSU campus labs meteorology, Remote Sensing, and Structural Geology. http://www.usd.edu/sdc/collab.htm
Extractions: Inventory of Collaborative Activities The SDC has also initiated an inventory of current collaborative activity within the system. Many collaborations at the level of individual faculty, departments, colleges, and universities are already well underway and it is important to make note of those for many reasons, but mostly because they establish precedents that others can make use of in developing their own collaborations. Current collaborative activities are online in the following areas: Multidisciplinary Projects Biology Biology at USD has a joint Ph.D. in Biological Sciences with SDSU. The biology departments at USD and SDSU share a seminar course for the Ph.D. program. Biology at USD frequently has faculty from other institutions serve on their graduate committees. A partial list of some of the faculty from SDSU currently serving on graduate committees at USD includes: Gary Larson-Plant Science, Paul Johnson- Plant Science, and K. Muthukumarappan-Plant Science. Bob Rowland (Bio/Micr, SDSU) and Bill Cafruny (Microbiology, USDSM) are co-Pl's on research grants.

As well as the latest outcomes from research and development, they reviewed the current situation and its influencing systems and developed an outlook of the 2005 summertime climate in North-east Asia. Another objective was to establish a network of experts in the region which would provide an opportunity for sharing information among countries and thus enhance capacity.

Extractions: Collaborative Science, Technology, and Applied Research Program (CSTAR) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has had a long history of entering into cooperative activities with colleges and universities. As the Modernization and Associated Restructuring (MAR) of the National Weather Service (NWS) progresses, the number and types of interactions have been growing steadily. As a result, the Collaborative Science, Technology, and Applied Research (CSTAR) program has been established by the Office of Meteorology to bring the current variety of NWS-supported collaborative activities with the academic community into a structured program and to create a cost-effective transition from basic and applied research to operations and services. This service-science linkage provides a foundation for the ongoing modernization of the NWS. The benefits derived from collaborative research activities initiated in CSTAR are numerous. NWS and university resources are leveraged, which will accelerate application of new science to operational forecasting. Collaborative research enables mutual sharing of information and data that may have been previously unavailable. Numerous opportunities for diverse partnerships are created, and these opportunities contribute to the scientific education of current and future workforce. All CSTAR efforts are geared toward enhancing scientific interactions leading to a transfer of improved scientific understanding and technological advancements into the total forecast system. These efforts support the United States Weather Research Program's (USWRP's) goal of advancing weather observing capabilities and fundamental understanding of weather and using this understanding to improve numerical weather prediction and enhance weather services provided to the Nation. In close association with the USWRP, the NWS has established a set of science priorities in support of the Advance Short-Term Forecast and Warning Services element of the NOAA Strategic Plan around which research in the CSTAR program is currently focused. These NWS Science Priorities are as follows:

While involved in these fellowships, the participants broadened their understanding of issues related to operational forecasting, and they contributed to solving meteorological problems by applying results of their applied research. NWS Southern Region offices hosted two individuals as part of COMET's postdoctoral program: At WFO Lubbock Dr. Arthur L. (Tim) Doggett, IV (Texas Tech University) worked on convective initiation along the dryline and investigating the role of symmetric instability in elevated convection. He used the Local Analysis and Prediction (LAPS) model in his research at the NWSFO.
Extractions: 21st International Conference on Interactive Information Processing Systems (IIPS) for Meteorology, Oceanography, and Hydrology Collaborative activities of the NWS MDL and NSSL to improve and develop new severe weather warning guidance applications Gregory J. Stumpf , CIMMS/Univ. of Oklahoma/NOAA/NWS, Norman, OK; and S. B. Smith and K. E. Kelleher The National Weather Service (NWS) faces enormous challenges in determining how to best utilize and integrate multi-sensor information into operations. The amount of data available to forecasters is increasing exponentially and will continue to do so. Concurrently, advances in information technology are driving new concepts of opera- tions for NWS. To keep pace with these rapid shifts in paradigm and in the face of restricted budgets, NWS needs do a better job of leveraging university research and expertise to quickly and successfully transfer science and technology into operations. During 2004, a new collaborative partnership was forged between the National Weather Service (NWS) Meteoro- logical Development Laboratory (MDL) and the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). This partnership began with the addition of an MDL staff scientist located at the NSSL. This new scientist serves as a liaison between NWS and NSSL on issues related to more rapid and seamless infusion of new science and technology to support the NWSs operational severe weather warning decision making capabilities. New WSR-88D algorithms (including multiple-radar algorithms), polarization diversity, phased-array radars, GOES-R sensors, 3-D lightning networks, surface mesonets, ACARS data, are all new high resolution data sources that are either already operational or due to be deployed in the next 10 years. There is a crucial need for research and prototyping of new applications that exploit and integrate these multiple-sensor observations for the benefit of NWS warning operations. Some of the new tasks to be carried out include working with NSSL scientists to establish a multi- sensor development testbed in order to prototype new multi- sensor applications suitable for short-fuse warning operations and short-range prediction with an emphasis on deep convection. New research and software development for AWIPS decision assistance tools, including multiple-sensor severe weather warning decision-making applications (detection, diagnosis, and prediction algorithms) will be carried out.
