NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) New York, NY Office Brandon Smith Aviation and Decision Support Program Manager WFO New York NWS Decision Support for High Profile Events

Decision Support Overview ◆Decision Support Services – not a new concept (Incident Meteorologist) –Driven By Relationships Between the NWS Forecaster and the Decision Maker NWS IMET Preparing for wildfire support circa 1930.

Decision Support Overview ◆National Weather Service provides specific/tailored support to emergency managers, within the scope of its Mission. –Communicates Concisely in Non-Technical Terms –Communicates In The Decision Maker’s Preferred Method –Understands A Customer’s Specific Needs –Adapts Well to Changeable Working Environments –Knows Role in Incident Command System –Understands The Incident’s “Big Picture”

Decision Support Overview ◆Decision Maker –Do I Trust You? –Are You A Team Player? –Weather Is Information (Just Like Logistics, Operations) –Can You Provide The Information I Need At The Right Time? –I Want Your Best Estimate and Level of Confidence

In this photo provided by the United States Potato Board, handlers struggle to move the Healthy Mr. Potato Head balloon when it is hit with a gust of wind while going through New York City's Columbus Circle during the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. (AP Photo)

NYC OEM Requirements Wind Speeds Along Parade Route are critical… -How “high” should balloons fly? -How many balloon handlers are needed? -Criteria for Lowering Balloons: Sustained speeds at least 23, gusts to 34 mph - Central Park ASOS not enough.

NYC OEM Requirements ◆Supplemental Wind Sensor Network (7 Sensors) Along Parade Route ◆Private Contractor Installs and Maintains Sensors for Macy’s ◆NWS interprets web based data in conjunction with all other information and provides short term wind forecasts for NYC OEM

ASOS Algorithms Instantaneous

Rain/Drizzle becomes a much larger security issue: 15,000 people is one issue 15,000 people with Rain Coats and umbrellas is another

Provide continuous weather support to the EOC in terms of public impact (rain/temps/wind) Provide HAZMAT/Emergency response forecast information (HYSPLIT) Services Coordinate with NY TRACON in maintaining secure airspace around Republic Airport (KFRG) where dignitaries were landing. NY TRACON

Consider These Numbers … ◆ $6 BILLION –What is lost annually in economic efficiencies as a result of air traffic delays ◆ 70% –The percentage of air traffic delays attributed to weather

DECISION SUPPORT FOR AVIATION NYC Metro Airspace is the busiest in the world  JFK/EWR/LGA are in the top 20 in the nation  HPN/TEB have 150,000+ operations per year.

Aviation Demonstration Test ◆A 60 day test of enhanced aviation weather information services provided by WFO New York involving a dedicated Aviation Forecaster ◆Monday-Friday, including holidays.
