Recorded presentation5A.3
The New GIS Services from the NWS
Keith Stellman, NOAA/NWS, Shreveport, LA; and P. Kirkwood and I. Graffman
In early spring of 2003, NOAA s (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration) National Weather Service (NWS) began development of an experimental ArcIMS site called EMHURR. This site was designed to provide Emergency Managers a means for accessing real time weather data both prior to and after the land fall of a tropical storm or hurricane. This project benefited from excellent intra-agency cooperation and several NWS programs and NOAA line offices contributed data and software to the project. This project has been migrated to the National Weather Service Southern Region webfarm and will serve out tropical Storm/Hurricane information as GIS ready data in the 2007 season. These services will be initially designed as an experiment to test scalability and the feasibility of these types of services. Hurricane model track inforamation, warning polygons, sateliite, and radar imagery will also be viewable and available through this GIS server and demonstrated at the AMS conference.
