1 The Evolving Role of the NWS Operations Proving Ground in the Research-to-Operations Process Kim Runk, Director

2 In the Beginning… Empowered Workforce Superior IDSS Improved R2X Stronger Alliances Greater Value to U.S. OPG identified as one of ten “key transformational concepts”

3 OPG Purpose & Role in R2O 3 Complement Testbeds Complement Testbeds Conduct “Last Mile” Evals Conduct “Last Mile” Evals Realistic Operational Setting Realistic Operational Setting Readiness, Impact, Training Readiness, Impact, Training Involve Forecasters & Partners Involve Forecasters & Partners Prototype Future Systems Prototype Future Systems

4 Initial Charge Prototype IDSS Simulation Training Construct Realistic WFO Test Environment Explore Interim Transition Opportunities Support Social Science Collaborations Build R2O Cohort ~ first two years ~
