Purpose of Review
SPoRT to provide comprehensive update to SAC on recent research and transition activities and partner interactions
SAC to provide:– feedback on strengths, weaknesses, and accomplishments– direction for future activities– other program guidance
Benefits:– SPoRT scientists – improve focus of activities– NASA Headquarters Program Manager (Tsengdar Lee) – program
emphasis and funding support– Beneficiaries, partners, and end users
Foundation of SPoRTMission - Apply NASA measurement systems and unique Earth science research to improve the accuracy of short-term (0-24 hr) weather prediction at the regional and local scale
Goals: – Evaluate and assess the utility of NASA Earth Science data and products and unique research
capabilities to address operational weather forecast problems – Develop and end to end framework to transition research capabilities to the operational
weather community– Provide an environment which enables the development and testing of new capabilities to
improve short-term weather forecasts on a regional scale– Ensure successful transition of new capabilities to operational weather entities for the benefit
of society
Vision – to become the focal point and facilitator for the transfer of NASA Earth science technologies to the operational weather community with emphasis on short-term forecasting on the regional and local scale

Represent beneficiaries, partners, end users - diversity– Knowledgeable of research to transition activities, NASA observational
and research capabilities, end user forecast problems– Representatives from operational and research partners
• NWS• NESDIS / ORA• NCEP / JCSDA
Nominated by SAC / SPoRT and approved by HQs Program Manager– 7-10 members– Serve through 2-3 SAC reviews for continuity
transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations
Role of Science Advisory Committee
transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations
Major activities• Serve as a knowledge resource on short-term weather prediction,
satellite data and derived products, mesoscale modeling, data assimilation issues, short-term weather forecasting and their impact on operational weather forecasting activities
• Provide scientific guidance and direction for future SPoRT activities including
– transitional activities and supporting research, and– new collaborations and partnerships
• Participate in biennial reviews leading to report on program / project recommendations
ChargeFeedback
– Quality of work – research and transitions– Program focus - right blend of R and T– New activities, observations, capabilities– Staff – expertise and skills match to SPoRT mission
Guidance– Short-term (1 year) and long-term (3-5 year) focus of R and T activities– End users - WFOs and beyond– How to include more partners in our activities– NOAA to better embrace SPoRT’s activities– Better position SPoRT to achieve vision
Recommendation for new members– Diversity– Specific individuals
