ROMAN: Real-Time Observation Monitor and Analysis Network John Horel, Mike Splitt, Judy Pechmann, Brian Olsen NOAA Cooperative Institute for Regional Prediction University of Utah Ed Delgado Eastern Great Basin Coordination Center San Diego Tribune. 28 Oct. 2003

Goal  Provide real-time weather data around the nation to meteorologists and land managers  Display data in fast-loading formats tailored to the wildland fire community and accessible to:  Top-level managers using high speed networks  Fire-behavior analysts in the field over slow dial-up connections San Diego Tribune. 28 Oct. 2003

ROMAN Development  Software developed at University of Utah to assist entire fire weather community to obtain access to current surface weather information  Support for development of ROMAN from BLM and NWS  Tools designed for fire weather applications can be used for many other purposes  Tested during 2002 and 2003 summer fire seasons  Fully operational for 2004 summer fire season Geographic Area Coordination Centers

Applications of ROMAN  Fire behavior analysts, fire management officers, GACC meteorologists:  Monitor weather conditions for strategic and tactical decision making  Determine impacts of weather on fire behavior and fire fighting resources  NWS meteorologists at WFOs  Monitor conditions within County Warning Areas, issue spot fire and general forecasts, verifying forecasts  NWS Incident Meteorologists  Monitor weather conditions in vicinity of major wildland fires

ROMAN Web Portal:

ROMAN  Structured by  GACC Predictive Service Areas  NWS CWA Forecast Zones  NWS Fire Weather Zones  Counties within States  Intuitive, easily navigable interface  Clickable maps  Station Weather  Weather Summary  Trend Monitor  Weather Monitor  5 Day Temp/RH Summary  Precip Summary/Monitor  Weather Near Fires  Search by zip code, geographic location Triangles: RAWS Major data providers: NWS/FAA; SNOTEL; RAWS

What Weather Information is Available? Search by: maps (state, CWAs, GACCs, etc.)

What Weather Information is Available? Search by: zip code, geographic location, latitude/longitude

What Has Been Happening Recently? 5-Day Max/Min Temperature, RH, Wind Speed

Summary  ROMAN under development for use by weather professionals and the public  ROMAN will be operated at the Boise WFO/ NIFC facility with 24/7 support by next summer  Existing web resources can be used for many applications with access to both real-time and archival information   Feedback:

Future Work  NWS forecasters have requested that land agencies develop a streamlined method to provide fuels information for the Red Flag Warning program  Development and implementation of a Red Flag Decision Support System is proposed  Provide a single source of fuels data  Automated specification of fuel states and manual updates  Integrated with ROMAN to provide access to weather and fuels information in one location
