Session 8 Keys to Success Creating synergy
in all components of surface transportation
weather applications
Suggested Next Steps a) Background work done
and need for more significant interagency
coordination and support established -- the time
is right to consider requesting a Joint Action
Group(s) (JAG) be formed to take on the
significant tasking recommended. 1) Develop an
integrated observing strategy to include
identification of critical new WIST sensor
needs. 2) Establish the RD priorities for
agencies to focus on. 3) Improve interagency
coordination of Products Services for common
applications (joint use/crossfeed/new
requirements). 4) Consider sponsoring a
multimode WIST DEMO project (road/rail/maritime
/pipeline/ etc.,) b) May also be JAG tasking,
but singled out for early focused
attention 1) Socioeconomic surveys of
impacts, users (public) application
product/services and format/semantics needs for
understandability ( not tailored specific
private user applicatons ) 2) Consider fast
tracking a Post-Doc assigned to NCEP/EMC focused
on surface transportation needs for MP and PS.
