NOAA Training Success
  • Dedicated NWS Training Division/Mission
  • Many Partners in NOAA
  • Cooperative Institutes
  • Other Agencies (DOD, Interior, DOT, )
  • International (GEOSS, Canada, Australia,
    EUMETSAT, WMO (Focus Groups), )

Trainings Key Points
  • Part of All NOAA Programs
  • Helps Meet NOAA Goals
  • Detailed Planning Implementation Process
  • Support for Training across many programs
  • However Need more support from you

7
Challenge Training Resources from Many Programs
  • Primary Training funds from Local Forecasts
    Warnings
  • Training Requirements come from many Programs

How Does Training Program Work?
Design-Develop Training Implementation Plan
Analyze Need/ PPBES
Evaluate
Implement
11
Training Succeeds Most When You Receive
Stakeholder Buy-In
  • Stakeholder Strategies
  • At all levels
  • Facilitator Connections

12
Training Success Increase Efficiencies
  • Maximize use of Learning Management System (LMS)

Over 28,000 LMS Course Completions Since June 2007
LMS Course Completions in NOAA (85
NWS)
13
2007/08 MetEd/COMET Statistics
  • 47,228 registered users
  • Total Countries 200
  • Over 163,000 module sessions
  • Over 26,400 quizzes completed
  • Over 13,300 modules downloaded
  • From Feb 2007 to April 2008
  • Tim Spangler COMET Director Tim Alberta

14
Virtual Institute for Satellite Integration
Training (VISIT)
  • Mission Accelerate transfer of research results
    into NWS operations via teletraining
  • Participants from NWS, DOD, other countries
  • As of March 2008
  • 77 courses offered
  • Over 1300 teletraining sessions administered
  • Over 19,000 certificates of completion issued
  • Additional 1375 registrations for VISIT sessions
    via NOAA LMS
  • http//rammb.cira.colostate.edu/visit

15
Trainings Key Points
  • Continue Work of Previous Training Workshops
    GOES User Conferences
  • Satellite Proving Ground Prepares Us for
  • Rapidly Evolving Technology
  • Expanding Target Audience

16
Satellite Proving Ground
  • Provide staff to work with nearby NWS forecast
    offices centers
  • Begin in FY 08 continue beyond launch
  • Initial Locations
  • Ft. Collins (CIRA)/BOU and CYS Underway!
  • Madison (CIMSS)/Sullivan WFO Underway!
  • Leverage Existing Activities JCSDA, SPoRT,
    Hazardous Weather Test Bed (Norman)

17
Satellite Proving Ground
  • Test Apply algorithms for new satellite
    data/products
  • - AIRS IASI MODIS, MSG/SEVIRI, CrIS Simulated
    GOES-R
  • Display techniques within evolving warning,
    watch, forecast, climate settings
  • Develop Test Decision Aid Tools in various
    operational settings

18
Recommendations from GOES
  • Proving Ground is ultimate tool to ensure user
    readiness
  • - Use various data sets to test validate
    processing distribution systems
  • Validate new improved products
  • Validate/ optimize decision aids
  • Optimize product display techniques
  • Environmental Event Simulator for user education
  • Venue for direct user input
  • Proven successful in other NOAA Test Beds
