The Finish Line: JTTI Runs NOAA Internal Competition to Transition Matured Research into NWS Operations

WPO NewsBy Kristina Kiest August 4, 2022

The lack of continued support for projects that are near completion creates a backlog of usable resources that cannot be fully incorporated into operations. The NWS Office of Science and Technology indicated that this backlog impedes the growth and progress of NWS operations which reduces the benefit of forecast improvements for the public. WPO chose to work towards resolving this issue by holding a NOAA internal funding competition.

A new weather forecasting tool could soon find itself part of the day-to-day operations of NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS). The instrument, called Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer, or AERI, measures temperature, water vapor and trace gases (like ozone, carbon monoxide and methane) in the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere, the troposphere.
