WHY ARE WE TAKING THIS TRIP?
Small-scale analysis and design is adequate for small-scale projects….
But a full-scale architectural process is required to effectively address the challenges NOAA faces
How many systems? Linked to Needs?
NOAA-wide observing requirements?

Corporate Actions Initiating Observing and Data Management Architecture
• NOAA Program Review Recommendation 32 (Aug 2002)– Centrally plan and integrate all observing systems– Develop NOAA-wide observing
system architecture• Baseline (Present)
• Target (10-20 years)
NOAA Strategic Plan (May 2003)“NOAA will develop an agency-wide Strategic Plan responding to user needs and its multiple user requirements that integrates atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, coastal and freshwater observations and data management to enhance all NOAA’s mission goals.”
Corporate Actions Initiating Observing and Data Management Architecture
• Strategic Direction for NOAA’s Integrated Global Environmental Observation and Data Management System– Provided vision and roadmap
guiding last 3 years of effort– Continues to provide valid
course for achieving goal
What are the Benefits of an Architecture?
• Facilitates alignment of technology to mission goals and programs
• Provides a corporate methodology to prioritize budget initiatives/alternatives
• Provides a corporate methodology to find cost reductions and/or to realign resources
Mission Technology
Architecture allows NOAA to evolve its Observation System.
WHAT HAVE WE ACCOMPLISHED?

BASED ON NOAA-WIDE ANALYSIS
BEING DEFINED AND EVALUATED
•Requirements•Systems
•Costs•Performance
•Gaps
•Integrated Architectures•Enhanced Partnerships
•Investment•Prioritization•Decisions
Specific Results
• Dual Polarization Doppler Radar
• Solar Wind Mission
• Coronal Mass Ejection Imager
• Responding to Decadal Survey Report
Investment Recommendation: Requirements Satisfaction
• NEXRAD Dual Polarization
– Potential for 50% improvement in precipitation measurement
– Decision makers needed rigorous review of proven technology prior to approving operational transition
– FY08 W&W Program Plan proposed as “above core”– NOSC FY08 Analysis indicated dual polarization a
strong candidate compared with other new observing technologies
– FY09 W&W Program Plan proposed partial funding within-core
Investment Recommendation: Potential Cost Avoidance
• Solar Wind Observations– SW data crucial for geomagnetic storm warnings
• Aging NASA satellite is only current source of data
– BAA Studies developed costs for multiple options – Total cost range of options was $222M to $35M– NOSC recommended lower-cost SW data-buy
partnered with NASA using refurbished DSCOVR– Estimated cost avoidance ~ $150-190M
(dependent on partnering)
Investment Recommendation: Potential Cost Avoidance
• Coronal Mass Ejection Imager (CME) – CME data crucial for geomagnetic storm warnings
– NASA STEREO mission is current source of data– GOES R formulation studies estimated cost of
$40.2M for flight sensor– BAA studies identified novel concept for CME
imaging that could be built commercially for $9M and the potential for commercial data buy
– NOSC questioned purchase of CME for GOES. Recommended studies to identify commercial sensor development and to define data purchase price
– Estimated cost avoidance ~$30M
Responding to the Decadal Survey Report
• NOAA now has right process and tools• Complies with OSTP & OMB requirements• Consolidated Observing Requirements List
(CORL), CasaNOSA Analysis Tool (CAS) enable NOAA to implement:– Independent– Objective– Repeatable
Process to evaluate the NRC recommendations
