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日在俄克拉荷马州诺曼举行。智力价值这一努力是有关最大化的双向学习和知识共享，是跨学科的天气企业和利益相关者社区。 这包括来自应急管理社区，教育工作者，健康和安全专家，工程师，物理和社会科学家，规划者和响应者，政府机构和官员在联邦，州和地方各级的投入。更广泛的影响讲习班将促进科学，以满足社会和我们的国家对预测，减轻和预防严重风暴和龙卷风灾害的需求。 预期的结果是：1）确定，优先考虑和启动行动，以提高国家对龙卷风和其他恶劣天气的弹性2）确定长期展望和预测的进展及其与可持续性的联系3）确定短期预测，观察和警告的进展及其与响应的联系4）概述和启动利益相关者社区内的端到端试点项目，以提高国家对龙卷风和其他恶劣天气的弹性。 确保这些活动被映射到现有的批准国家气象局试点项目。5）确定科学和技术机会，促进创新，以推进从观测和严重风暴探测到风暴规模预测建模，再到与用户在准备中的协作互动，提供警报和预报，UCAR（大学大气研究公司）科学支持联合办公室（JOSS）将使用国家科学基金会提供的资金支持研讨会，为大约15名与会者提供全额旅行支持。

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.
