Extended Range Forecasting and Advanced Climate Applications Decision Support System

The DOD, other levels of government, and business concerns stand to benefit from an on-demand decision support system that provides cutting-edge environmental prediction displays including probabilistic and fused products on an innovative, intuitive display. By weaving existing and future datasets, with on-going climate and seasonal forecasts using state-of-the-science technology such a system will be proposed and designed in Phase I. This system will significantly enhance the Advanced Climate Analysis and Forecasting (ACAF) application, but also be poised to provide reach-in environmental information to emerging technology such as the Navy Tactical Cloud and Navy Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) resources. This proposal brings ACAF, deterministic and probabilistic forecast output, and environmental product experience to bear with the aim of creating an innovative environmental (and beyond) decision support system.
