Weather Ready Nation Workshop: A Vital Conversation; Norman, Oklahoma; December 13-15, 2011

天气准备国家研讨会是一个为期3天的研讨会，将于2011年12月13日至15日在俄克拉何马州诺曼举行。智力价值这一努力与最大化双向学习和知识共享有关，这是跨气象企业和利益相关者社区的跨学科。这包括来自应急管理界、教育工作者、健康和安全专家、工程师、物理学家和社会科学家、规划者和响应者、政府机构和联邦、州和地方各级官员的意见。广泛影响研讨会将促进科学，以满足社会和国家在预测、减轻和预防严重风暴和龙卷风灾害方面的需求。预期成果是：1)确定提高国家对龙卷风和其他恶劣天气的复原力的行动，确定优先次序，并启动行动2)确定较长期展望和预报的进展及其与准备工作的联系3)确定短期预报、监测和警告的进展及其与应对措施的联系4)在利益攸关方社区内概述和启动端到端试点项目，以提高国家对龙卷风和其他恶劣天气的复原力。5)确定科技机会和促进创新，以推进端到端的过程，从观测和严重风暴检测，到风暴规模预测建模，再到在准备、提供警告和预报以及响应和恢复方面与用户的协作互动。UCAR(大学大气研究公司)科学支持联合办公室(JOSS)将利用国家科学基金会提供的资金支持研讨会，为大约15名与会者提供全面的旅行支持。

The Weather Ready Nation Workshop is a 3-day workshop to be held in Norman, OKDecember 13-15, 2011.Intellectual merit This effort is pertinent to maximization of two-way learning and knowledge sharing that is cross-disciplinary across the weather enterprise and stakeholder community. This includes input from the emergency management community, educators, health and safety experts, engineers, physical and social scientists, planners and responders, government agencies and officials at the Federal, state and local levels.Broader impacts The workshop will promote science to meet the needs of society and our nation for predicting, mitigating, and preventing severe storm and tornado hazards. The expected outcomes are:1) Identifying, prioritizing, and setting in motion actions to improve the nation's resiliency against tornadoes and other severe weather2) Identifying advancements in longer term outlooks and forecasts and their links to preparedness3) Identifying advancements in short-term forecasts, watches and warnings and their links to responses4) Outlining and initiating end-to-end pilot projects within the stakeholder communities to improve the nation's resiliency to tornadoes and other severe weather. Ensuring these activities are mapped into the existing approved National Weather Service pilot projects.5) Identifying scientific and technological opportunities and promoting innovation to advance the end-to-end process from observations and severe storm detection, to storm scale predictive modeling, to collaborative interactions with users in preparedness, the provisions of warnings and forecasts, and response and recovery.UCAR's (University Corporation For Atmospheric Research) Joint Office for Science Support (JOSS) will use funding provided by the National Science Foundation for support of the workshop to provide full travel support for approximately 15 attendees.
