Extractions: ISSN 1441-9335 Contents Previous Next The Bureau of Meteorology is responsible for the provision of meteorological and related hydrological and oceanographic services to the Australian community, under the authority of the Meteorology Act 1955 . The Bureau operates as a self-contained agency within the Department of the Environment and Heritage. The Director of Meteorology presents a separate detailed annual report on the discharge of his responsibilities under the Act. In order to ensure that Australia is well served by contemporary meteorological and related information, science and services, the Bureau maintains extensive, high quality meteorological observation networks and data archives. It undertakes scientifically based prediction of weather, climate and the state of the atmosphere, oceans and inland waters, drawing heavily on arrangements under the Convention of the World Meteorological Organization for free and unrestricted international exchange of meteorological and related data and information. These activities are underpinned and complemented by a strong in-house and externally cooperative research programme to advance meteorological knowledge and understanding.

Responsible Team FLOW 1.1 COLLABORATIVE CONVECTIVE FORECAST PRODUCT Description: The CCFP is a 2-4-6 hour graphical forecast of convection developed specifically for use in the strategic planning and management of air traffic. It is produced in a collaborative manner by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service Aviation Weather Center (NOAA/NWS/AWC), the Meteorological Services of Canada (MSC), NWS Center Weather Service Units (CWSUs) located at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Route Traffic Control Centers, and airline meteorology departments. The Collaborative Convective Forecast Product (CCFP) shows potential convective activity areas and serves as the common convective forecast for traffic flow management. The CCFP is used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and NAS users, such as airlines and general aviation use for strategic planning. The CCFP is produced by meteorologists at the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) based on input from FAA and airline meteorologists. The CCFP is displayed on an AWC website, the Traffic Situation Display (TSD), Web Situation Display (WSD) and Common Constraint Situation Display (CCSD), where it is shown integrated with other weather products, alerts, and overlays, and other Enhanced Traffic Management System products.

Forecasting Lab Activities collaborative Science, Technology and Applied Research Program (CSTAR) meteorology in Support of Energy Trading (METEOSET) http://www4.ncsu.edu:8030/~gary/forecastlab/activities.html
Extractions: Lab Activities Research A longstanding tradition of successful collaboration exists between the Raleigh NWS Forecast Office and NCSU. In 1999, the NWS-NCSU collaboration was taken to a new level with the funding of a NOAA CSTAR proposal- this project involves NCSU and 5 regional NWS offices, including Wilmington, Newport, and Raleigh NC, Wakefield, VA, and Greer, SC. Input from operational forecasters at these five offices allowed the CSTAR group to identify challenges that were common to all regional forecasters. This new CSTAR effort is designed to improve cold-season precipitation forecasts in the southeastern U.S. Observational case studies, climatological and satistical studies, and numerical models are being used to examine the precipitation distribution accompanying cold-air damming, coastal fronts, and coastal cyclones. The influence of upstream convection on the downstream precipitation forecast is a major focus. A couple of the questions to be answered are: How does the presence of convection alter the moisture transport in midlatitude cyclones and fronts affecting the southeast?
Extractions: Randy A. Peppler, Associate Director INFRASTRUCTURAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS During 1998, CIMMS played a national leadership role for the NOAA Joint Institutes (JIs). This resulted from the CIMMS Director being Chair of the JI Directors for 1998-99, and involved CIMMS hosting a JI Administrators' Meeting (April) and planning two JI Directors' Meetings scheduled for January and April 1999. These activities enhanced CIMMS' familiarity with NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research and the ten other JIs that extend across the U.S., including in Hawaii and Alaska. Consistent with the above, there has been continued growth in the involvement of CIMMS scientists, engineers, and support personnel in the programs of the NSSL (88 individuals, who now substantially outnumber the Laboratory's 52 federal employees), WSR-88D OSF (10), and SPC (3). This level of activity constitutes a ten-fold increase over five years ago. The resulting infrastructural challenges are being successfully addressed, including through a January 1999 Workshop that was planned in late 1998.

Extractions: AdvectionSim Simulation Introduction The origins of this simulation involved the desire to convert a standard introductory meteorology lecture course into one where constructivism was the main instructional model and students were expected to take a more active role in their own learning-all without reduction of class size. The course goals were expanded to include learning how to learn science as well as learning science content. One of the major tools used to accomplish this was the use of World Wide Web server software that manages Internet class activities. ClassNet, ( Van Gorp and Boysen, 1997), was developed to accomplish this task (http://classnet.cc.iastate.edu/). This tool allowed every student to be an active participant in learning activities with easy access to course materials, enhanced communication with the instructor and other students, rapid feedback concerning assignment and exam scores, and ready access to their private records of course performance. Course materials have been designed for introductory science courses at the secondary and college level. They are intended to be supplemental to the course, allowing the instructor to decide which materials to use and which to omit. Experience with these materials has shown that their effect, especially the effect of the simulations is gradual and sufficient time must be allowed to observe a difference in student behavior and attitude. At Iowa State University students often find the simulations to be uncomfortable at first because they use them before they hear the corresponding lectures, but this approach is deliberate and is intended to create questions in students' minds so they will come to class seeking answers.

Extractions: Broadcast meteorologists recently made the national news, as 110 broadcasters were invited to the White House for a series of briefings on global climate change. Our association was well represented by Jay Prater, Kent Ehrhardt and Sue Palka, among others. For first hand feedback, I invite you to call Jay, Kent, Sue or your local broadcast meteorologist. Ask them if they agree with White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry's statement that the weathercasters "appreciated being treated as something other than airheads." Our Broadcast Seal committee has been very busy. For 1997, we have over 30 new recipients of the NWA Seal of Approval. We owe a HUGE thanks to Brad Sussman and the following NWA members for their diligence and professionalism in reviewing application packages, exams and tapes: Paul Croft, Sandy Thomson; Dave Sweeney; Karen Maginnis; Dick Elder; Dan Threlkeld; Alan Sealls; Carey Coleman; Bob Farrell; and Jack Church. Please thank them in person when you get a chance. On the evening of 8 September, Kevin Lavin, Joe Schaefer (President Elect), Steve Zubrick (Secretary), Eli Jacks (Treasurer) and I met with Brigadier General (USAF, Retired) Jack Kelly to discuss his NOAA resource requirement review. Jim Moore, our Vice President, could not make the meeting, but provided an excellent description of his scientific training concerns we shared with Gen Kelly. During our meeting, Gen Kelly described the ground rules of his review provided by the NOAA Administrator and the process he was following to meet his completion deadline. We shared all the concerns you provided us (stress operational meteorology needs for data and improved warnings, and training to fully utilize the modernization technologies) and considered the meeting quite successful.

Extractions: September 1995 Summary Australia has considerable achievements in space science and technology. But the country's space program is too small to be useful or sustainable. Without a great increase in funding (to a level still below some Asian countries), it will not produce worthwhile results. The Commonwealth Government funds the National Space Program in order to build high-technology industries in Australia. Space science is the starting point for both a space program and space-related industries both depend on the research, the techniques and the inventions of scientists. Australia's space program needs to place more emphasis on space science in order to gain industrial benefits. The Academy recommends: The Australian Government provide at least $20 million per year for the development of a useful and sustainable National Space Program, as recommended in the expert panel report. The capability for payload and satellite manufacture should have a higher priority than launch capability.
Extractions: ABSTRACT Since 1994 the Live Access Server (LAS) has been providing visualization and subsetting of multi-dimensional scientific data for Web users. This talk presents a high level overview of the capabilities of LAS version 4, a distributed "data fusion" system designed to support collaborative research. LAS is designed to be easily installed, configured, and maintained. An individual LAS site can provide access both to locally held data sets and to distributed data often data sets juxtaposed for purposes of comparison. Users can co-plot and difference (with regridding as required) the comparative data sets. Binary access to remote data sets is provided transparently by the Distributed Ocean Data System (DODS). An individual LAS can designate a cluster of cooperating sites as "sisters". LAS automatically configures a group of sisters to appear to users as a single (virtual) site. For example, distributed modeling sites can configure themselves as a collaborative project where all model outputs are available for comparison within a single interface.
