## Slide 1

**Notes:**
Introduction; May 2004 workshop and continued efforts of steering committee 

## Objectives Today

- Inform team leads of local partnership (matrix) efforts
- Welcome advice on our local efforts
- Suggest ways to improve access & communications from NC to HQ
- Offer model for “One NOAA” campaign in other states

## NOAA’s matrix management approach...”One NOAA”
Explore ways to work more efficiently and enhance NOAA service to state and nation.

- Explore ways to work more efficiently and enhance NOAA service to state and nation.

- “NOAA in NC” PurposeInnovation+Collaboration=Success

*“**Collaboration and partnerships are no longer lofty goals.  They are an economic reality to save time and money -- and avoid duplication of efforts.”- R. Hodson*

## PPBES Process

## 2004 Workshop

**Participants (26)– cross-L.O. including:**
- NOAA Undersea Research at UNCWn; NC Sea Grant – Raleigh; NOAA Coastal Services Center; NWS (RAH, ILM, MHX, AKQ, RNK, GSP,  MRX); NCCOS Beaufort; NCDC Asheville; NC Division of Coastal Management – Raleigh; NC National Estuarine Research Reserve
**Goals:**
- Improve NOAA service to the public
- Generate new resources via leveraging and new ideas
- Improve outreach, communications, and partnerships between NOAA elements in North Carolina
**Agenda**
- Plenary—J. Payne, CSC, current NOAA PPBES process
- Example Partnership Activity Reports
- Breakout group discussions
**Expected Outcomes:**
- New potential partnerships
- Inventory of partnership projects in NC
- Mechanisms to improve outreach
- Next steps for sustaining meeting goals

## Existing Partnerships: Weather, Ocean Observing and Prediction System for NC

- Objective: to improve integration of atmospheric and ocean observing programs
- Partners: SEACOOS, NDBC, NWS, NC Sea Grant
- NOAA Relevancy: Outreach and education/Weather and Water Goals
- Products/Outcomes:  QA/QCed real-time met/ocean data and products
- Outreach:  Live data updates available to public via SEACOOS (www.seacoos.org), Newport/Morehead City NWS (www.erh.noaa.gov/er/mhx/), and NDBC’s dial-a-buoy line.

## Lookout Buoy Variables

- Iridium satellite/cell phone comms
- Meteorological sensors (wind speed
- & direction, air temperature & humidity, long/ short wave solar radiation, barometric pressure and precipitation)
- Water temperature & salinity (near
- surface, mid-depth and near seafloor)
- Current speed & direction throughout water column
- Wave height, period and direction
- Argos, satellite-based tracking system,
- Batteries and solar charging system

##  Existing Partnerships: NOAA-USLA Rip Current Safety Campaign

- Objective: Promote public safety through awareness of rip currents
- Partners: since 1970s--NC Sea Grant, NWS (ILM,MHX,AKQ), NOS CSC HQ, US Lifesaving Association, NC Beach Communities
- NOAA Relevancy: Outreach and education/Weather and Water Goals
- Products/Outcomes:  model integrating shore-face geology with weather/wave/tide conditions to predict likelihood of rip currents at various locations
- Outreach: National Task Force, “Break the Grip of Rip” campaign  (http://www.ripcurrents.noaa.gov)

## Grip of the Rip

- 80% of all rescues result of rip currents:
- 2003 – 17,716 rip current rescues
- 2002 – 20,890 rip current rescues
- 2001 – 25,565 rip current rescues
- Estimated fatalities per year in U.S.:
- 206 - Heat
- 127 - Flooding
**100 - Rip Currents**
- 73 -   Lightning
- 68 -   Tornado
- 16 -   Hurricane

## Grip of the Rip

- Sea Grant & NWS work with beach communities, e.g., New Hanover County RCAST (Rip Current Safety Awareness Team) and Outer Banks officials
- RCAST Project offers links to other safety issues, e.g., UV/skin cancer, lightning
- Sea Grant’s *Coastwatch,*  Spring 2005-- Wilmington NWS prototype waterspout forecast

## Steering Committee Prioritization of NOAA in NC efforts/proposals-- criteria:

Cost:1= >$10k, 2 = < $10k, 3 = no new $; 
Timing:  1= longer multi-year effort; 2= short term (<1 year); 3= already done
Scope:  1 = 2 or fewer partners, 2 = 3, 3 = >3 partners
Relevance:  1 = relevant to one NOAA goal, 2= 2 NOAA goals, 3 = 3 goals or more
Weight:  Measure of national importance/impact based on most current NOAA goals.

Highest ranks serve as focus for outreach efforts and research initiatives.
