7. Fleet Numerical… Atmospheric & Oceanographic Prediction Enabling Fleet Safety and Decision Superiority… 7 FNMOC COOP Manager (CPM) is responsible for maintaining and updating this plan. The plan details four phases of a COOP Relocation Team execution.  Phase 0, Pre-event planning and mitigation. Keeping information up to date, recall rosters, tests, exercises, etc.  Phase 1, Activation and Notification. How personnel would be notified during on and off-duty hours.  Phase 2, Alternate Operating Facility Operations. Three personnel will shift to Naval Oceanographic Office, Stennis Space Center, MS  Phase 3, Reconstitution. Once ordered, personnel return to FNMOC in the most feasible and expeditious manner possible. Services will be restored at FNMOC in accordance with the FNMOC ITCP and power up checklists.

9. Fleet Numerical… Atmospheric & Oceanographic Prediction Enabling Fleet Safety and Decision Superiority… COOP MEFs and Timelines 9 Mission Essential FunctionsPreferred Continuity Methods Recovery Time Objective (RTO) Navy Enterprise Portal – Oceanography (NEP-OC) Host Naval Oceanography Portal is a one stop shopping place for all Navy METOC products and support. FNMOC houses the hardware for the NEP-OC which is populated by all CNMOC commands independently. Fail-over switch to host at Naval Oceanographic Office, Stennis Space Center, MS If failover unavailable, the FNMOC COOOP Activation Msg directs users to other websites for services and products. Degradation: If failover is unavailable, no “one stop shopping.” No FNMOC pages available. 4 hrs Naval Flight Weather Briefer Allows pilots to request and receive an en-route, flight- weather forecast (DD-175-1) from NAFC, using the web. Fail-over switch to host at Naval Oceanographic Office, Stennis Space Center, MS 6 hrs CEEMS/BALPARS Air density and wind can affect the RV (re-entry vehicle) in the final stages of the trajectory. To compensate, FNMOC produces detailed weather forecasts over the target areas. BALPARS approximate the total effect that wind and air density at different altitudes would have over the final stages of an RV’s flight path. The CDO NMCI account has back-up CEEMS/BALPARS messages already created out to Tau 96. CRT will recode CEEMS/BALPARS to use the Air Force numerical weather prediction output parameters (rather than NAVGEM). Degradation: No automation, leading to increased latency. 12 hrs Assured Numerical Weather Predictions (NAVGEM, COAMPS, WW3, etc.) Provides assured global and meso-scale, high resolution numerical weather models. Output parameters (winds, sig. wave height, pressure, etc.) enable fleet safety and provide physical battlespace awareness. The FNMOC COOOP Activation Msg directs users to other websites, specifically 16 th Weather Squadron, for services and products. Degradation: No FNMOC or “assured” models, no customized products or RFS. 2 hrs

10. Fleet Numerical… Atmospheric & Oceanographic Prediction Enabling Fleet Safety and Decision Superiority… COOP MEFs and Timelines (cont.) 10 Mission Essential FunctionsPreferred Continuity Methods Recovery Time Objective (RTO) Web-based Search-and-Rescue Capability Search And Rescue (SAR) model generates global probability maps, search recommendations and reports using environmental model data. COOP Activation Msg directs Ashore users to Naval Oceanographic Office and the Fleet Weather Centers for support requests in international or foreign waters. Afloat users directed to GFMPL-based search and rescue tool. Degradation: FNMOC WebSAR tool not available. Fleet has less familiarity with other tools. 2 hrs Operational Climatology Operational climatology utilizes 30 years of reanalysis fields and data to enable fleet safety and physical battlespace awareness, and provides critical long-term planning capability. CRT will establish a climo capability at NAVO. The fly-away team will supplement NOAA, and NAVO datasets with FNMOC wave data and analysis tools (saved on a DvD). Degradation: No automation, leading to some increased latency in product delivery. 12 hrs Assured Satellite Imagery and Products Imagery and processed products (dust, fog, contrail, etc.) enable fleet safety and provide physical battlespace awareness. COOP Activation Msg directs users to other sites and agencies for similar products. Degradation: No FNMOC or “assured” imagery or products, no customized products or RFS. 2 hrs
