3rd NOAA Testbed & Proving Ground Workshop
| Dates: 1-3 May 2012 | |
| Where: | NOAA Boulder David Skaggs Research Center Room GC402 325 Broadway Boulder, CO 80305 |
What: The workshop
will focus on exchanging lessons-learned & best practices within current
NOAA and related testbeds/proving grounds, and on building cross-testbed
collaborations & synergies. The workshop will include an integrating
science theme to highlight progress and challenges for NOAA's efforts to
understand, predict, and mitigate adverse impacts of intense
precipitation. Previous Workshop Summaries
Why: This
workshop, directed towards enhancing communication across NOAA
testbed/proving ground efforts, is an important opportunity to exchange
information, and enhance the use and effectiveness of outcomes in NOAA
operations. Updates on the wide variety of testbed projects across NOAA,
related efforts, and new ones on the horizon, will also feature progress in
an integrating science theme in a critical area for NOAA, evidenced by
enormous societal impact: intense precipitation.
Workshop Goals:
- Communicate results and future directions for individual testbeds and discuss broader cross-testbed issues and directions
- Communicate testing activities/results/challenges on the integrating science theme of "intense precipitation"
- Identify best practices, understand and discuss improvements towards achieving our testbed goals
