Session: Quasi-Operational Products You Can Use Now: The View from the Dry and Wet Sides—Part I (99th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting)

Tuesday, 8 January 2019: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM

North 132ABC (Phoenix Convention Center - West and North Buildings)

Host: 35th Conference on Environmental Information Processing Technologies

Cochairs:

Tiffany C. Vance, NOAA, NOS/IOOS, Silver Spring, MD; Kevin Kelleher, ESRL, GSD, Boulder, CO and Jennifer Luppens Mahoney, NOAA/ESRL/GSD, GSD/OD, Boulder, CO

This session aims to bring attention to those applications, technologies, or techniques that are well advanced with respect to the technology readiness level continuum. These applications, technologies, or techniques have not yet been made officially operational by organizations such as the National Weather Service but are being produced regularly in an "operational like" manner and made available for general use. Historical examples are the HRRR forecast model, the MRMS precipitation and severe weather analysis/nowcasting system, harmful algal bloom (HAB) forecasts, high-frequency radar (HFR) wave and current estimates, and the MADIS repository for surface observations and other observations.
