Key Strategies for NOAA’s Commerce and Transportation Mission Goal
• NOAA has enhanced the American Public’s ability to:– Know where they are– Get where they are going safely and
efficiently– Make appropriate decisions for a
safe, secure, efficient, and environmentally sound transportation network.
• NOAA’s essential services are uninterrupted and available during emergencies and critical events
Information that Moves America
Commerce and Transportation Overview
• Surface Weather
• Aviation Weather
• Marine Weather
• Marine Transportation System
• Geodesy
• Emergency Response
Surface Weather within NOAA
• Mandate to protect life and property, and promote safe and efficient commerce and transportation
– Weather contributes to ~7,400 deaths and ~1,500,000 highway crashes/yr
– 17% of all highway fatalities occur during adverse weather
– $42B annual economic loss
– Weather support at the ocean and airport interfaces crucial to domestic and international commerce
– Multi-modal with initial focus on road weather
