## Corporate NOAA

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
Review NOAA structure and how it is working.

This diagram is meant to show the integration of our corporate NOAA structure, not shown on the previous diagram.  Line offices, goal leads, and councils all have to work together for us to complete our mission.

Regional is included in this.

## Employee Information

- Workforce Management
- Eddie Ribas, new WMO Director
- QuickHire

- New QuickHire Login Screen

- https://jobs1.quickhire.com/scripts/doc.exe

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
·Last November, NOAA migrated to QuickHire, a new automated job posting and application system to replace the Commerce Opportunities On-Line (COOL) system.· QuickHire works essentially the same as COOL; however, it is expected to provide applicants with greater flexibility in tailoring their resume and applying for vacancies.· Most applicants will find using QuickHire easy and intuitive. You may already have used QuickHire if you applied for vacancies at a number of other agencies including NIST, ITA, PTO, and Office of the Secretary, or here since November. QuickHire is already used by many other Federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Geological Survey.· There are many new features in the QuickHire system.  You can receive e-mail notifications on: a) the status of vacancies for which you have applied; b) new vacancy announcements that meet your experience; and c) notification of when a selection is made for a particular position. Also, you will be able to provide longer résumés. · QuickHire has been working reliably in the past several months, and now we are working with the Department of Commerce to add more convenience features.

NOTE: Our Workforce Management Office continues to work with DOC to drive still much needed functionality into the system.  While the system could still improve, we are working hard to best utilize the system.  Despite significant system problems with QuickHire, which resulted in a 50% historical decline in positions normally advertised during the first half of the year fiscal year, we made 700 out of 911 job offers (77%) within 99 calendar days, which is on target with our corporate performance measure.

## Employee InformationPay Banding Demonstration Project

- NOAA working with Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to expand participation under the guidelines used by the DOC Pay Banding Demonstration project
- In order to make this demo project permanent, NOAA is seeking OPM’s approval to change from a demo project to an Alternate Personnel System
- OPM has the next action
- NOAA’s Workforce Management Office will conduct the necessary management and employee briefings, including negotiating terms with our bargaining units

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
Background:
The FY05 Senate report language authorized an increase of participants in the demo project to over 6000 employees.  Unfortunately the law caps Pay Banding Demonstration Projects at 5000 employees, putting the law at odds with the Senate report.

For the FY06 Appropriations Report, NOAA is working with the Senate to include better serving language.  NOAA is also looking at a more permanent solution – incorporating it into Authorizing language, instead of 1-year appropriation language.
In order to make this demo project permanent, NOAA is seeking OPM’s approval to change from a demo project to an Alternate Personnel System. 

Note:  We are still working with DOC on this matter, however, until we get better language in our appropriation bills (that uses specific language authorizing us to set up an alternate personnel system, rather than expanding the demo which legally cannot be done), we are essentially in a holding pattern.

## Current EventsHurricane Response

- One NOAA response
- Forecasts
- Wetland assessment (satellites)
- Citation flights – digital imagery
- NRTs
- OR&R – oil spill response
- Environmental assessment cruises

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
The Gulf of Mexico ecosystem has many components with which NOAA is involved.  All of these components, including the fisheries, wetlands and coasts were severely impacted as were the ports and communities from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  

NOAA’s National Weather Service did an excellent job predicting the path of both Hurricanes and the strength at landfall.  NWS weather forecast offices in the area were severely impacted, yet the NWS continued to supply accurate forecasts for the recovery area subsequent to the storm.
NOAA’s Satellite and Information Service provided satellite imagery to help assess the impact of the storms on wetlands, including NOAA funded restoration projects.  Additionally, imagery assisted forecasts and other assessments.

NOAA’s Navigation Response Teams convened from all over the country to survey the ports to ensure safety for passage allowing the Coast Guard to open the ports quite after the storms passed.  They worked in extraordinary conditions to reopen one of the most economically important port areas of the country.

NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration is still on the ground evaluating the impacts and status of the numerous oil spills in the area.  The Scientific Support Team has been diligently working as part of the interagency response to cleaning up these oil spills.

NOAA’s Aircraft fleet supported damage assessment flights, VIP over flights and digital imagery collection.  In fact, our digital imagery was linked to the Google website and allowed displaced families to assess the status of their homes prior to returning to the area.  This, of course, was not possible for everyone, but some were assisted by the large collection of images.

NOAA has conducted three sets of environmental assessment cruises and will continue these efforts until at least the end of the year.  Preliminary results show no elevated contaminant levels in white shrimp and no elevated hydrocarbon or E. coli levels in fish and crab samples. 

## Current EventsNOAA in the Media

- Robert Ricks

- Max Mayfield

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
NOAA has received a great deal of positive press coverage over the last few months, particularly for our role in hurricane forecasting and reconstruction.

Dateline NBC highlighted Robert Ricks, a meteorologist from the Weather Forecast Office in Slidell, La.  The night before landfall he issued the urgent warning about the power of Katrina and the aftermath to come.   His warning has been widely quoted and noted, among other things, that “

Oklahoma’s own Max Mayfield, Director of NOAA’s National Hurricane Center was named “Person of the Week” by ABC News (September 23, 2005) for his role in hurricane prediction and preparedness. During his interview, Max noted that his respect for the power of nature and his fascination with weather came from growing up in “Tornado Alley”.

There has also been some confusion in the press regarding our research budgets.  Some of you may have seen the Miami Herald Hurricane Series.  This investigative series discussed a number of issues related to hurricane research, reconnaissance and prediction.  The articles compared the Hurricane Research Division’s budget to that of NSSL – we’ve been working to correct any misperceptions that may have resulted from these articles through interviews and op eds and letters to the editors.  

As a final note on this topic, this morning I attended a recognition ceremony where we named the University of Oklahoma StormReady.  The StormReady concept originated in Tulsa in the late 1990s and has spread around the country – there are currently 986 StormReady sites in 48 states.  This is a great accomplishment for NOAA, helping us to achieve our goal of protecting lives and property.  

## Current EventsGlobal Earth Observation System of Systems

- Current EventsGlobal Earth Observation System of Systems

- Nearly 60 Countries & European Commission
- More than 40 global organizations
- A distributed system of systems
- Improves coordination of strategies & observation systems
- Links all platforms: in situ, aircraft, & satellite networks
- Identifies gaps in our global capacity
- Facilitates exchange of data & information
- Improves decision-makers’ abilities to address pressing policy issues

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
I’d like to switch gears now and discuss earth observations.

GEOSS is the Global Earth Observation System of Systems.  This is really the largest umbrella under which everything else fits.  This is an end-to-end system of integrated pieces.  The aim is not to change the excellent technology and other approaches that are already working, but to identify and implement those things that will make GEOSS emerge in a manner that is as interrelated as the planet we aim to observe, predict and protect.  This leads to the concept of interoperability, and the recognition that no matter how effective and efficient all of our single-purpose systems may be, their value will be much greater when they can work together.

This effort has received wide international attention. There are nearly 60 countries and the EC and more than 40 global organizations.  We have countries coming to the table at these meetings, for example Iran, that don’t necessarily join the United States at the table on other issues.  And it’s not just a mid-level scientist sitting down and discussing this – we have ministerial level participation from all of these countries.

GEOSS will give us the ability to harness, use and fuse data – it will yield the sound science on which sound policy and decision-making must be built.  In February, I was joined by our new Secretary of Commerce, Carlos Gutierrez, in Brussels where all of the participating nations agreed to a 10-year global implementation plan.

## GEOSSFrom Observations to Benefits

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
The GEOSS initiative focuses on integration of data, for short and long-term purposes, on an international scale.  
The view of the slide is from an integration perspective and is designed to show there are two areas of likely integration benefit: at the collection level, geospatially; and within the data management system, where we transform raw data into useable information to meet user needs. The view also emphasizes the point that our mission goals are the recipients of data and/or information sets to meet their requirements.
Integration is both vertical and horizontal....

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
The Bush Administration has committed $37.5 over the next two years to provide tsunami warning coverage for the entire U.S. coast.   Under the Administration’s proposal, the U.S. tsunami warning system will provide 24/7 operations at NOAA’s tsunami warning centers, include a network of 39 second generation DART buoy stations, expand the NOAA tide station network, enhance seismic monitoring, and improve community preparedness.

NOAA operates two tsunami warning centers under the direction of NOAA's National Weather Service:
  The Richard H. Hagemeyer Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, in Ewa Beach, Hawaii
  The West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, in Palmer, Alaska

The two NOAA warning centers are responsible for issuing tsunami warnings, watches, advisories and information messages to emergency management officials and the public. The Pacific center covers U.S. interests and territories throughout the Pacific, including Hawaii. The Alaska center covers Alaska and the west coast of North America from British Columbia, Canada, to California. 

In addition, NOAA works with local emergency mangers to help them ensure their communities are TsunamiReady – a designation that means they have met a minimum set of preparedness and education guidelines. As of October 26, 2005 there were 23 TsunamiReady Sites in 6 states.

UNEP/WMO Vienna Convention Awards:  Dan Albritton and Susan Solomon, of the Chemical Sciences Division of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), were awarded the Vienna Convention Award from the United Nations Environment Programme/World Meteorological Organization. 
The award recognizes 15 international scientists for their contributions for the protection of the ozone layer and includes Nobel laureates.  Albritton and Solomon were among 5 U.S. scientists who received the honor.  Albritton’s contributions have spanned the full extent of the Vienna Convention’s 20-Year history.  He serves as one of the three international Co-chairs of the Scientific Assessment Panel, which periodically assesses the state of scientific understanding regarding the ozone layer.  Solomon has led scientific expeditions to both the Antarctic and Arctic to investigate polar ozone depletion, and her research identified the cause of the Antarctic ozone hole.  Of course, we are very proud of their accomplishments, all of which was accomplished NOAA.

Presidential Rank Awards: 
Five NOAA Research Scientists will receive the Distinguished Presidential Rank Award, the most prestigious recognition given to career government executives and scientists: 
Kimpel: for his renowned scientific vision, leadership skills, and for his talent in putting together coalitions of federal, academic, and private partners to address complex challenges in order to save lives, protect property, and reduce economic loss from severe weather events.  
Ramaswamy: for his work with the factors that cause changes in the global climate and his research into the effects that natural causes and human activity may have on the climate.  Ramaswamy’s  work on the climate forcing and global warming potential of several greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have been widely used in many national and international assessments, including Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). 
Tans:  for his work that led to the North American Carbon Program, aimed at understanding the uptake of carbon dioxide in North America, and allowing for more accurate climate projections, and improving our understanding of how plants, trees, and soil absorb carbon dioxide. Funding by the President’s Climate Change Research Project is allowing Tans to create a network of small aircraft and tall communications tower platforms to better understand regional carbon uptake across the United States.
Mayfield:  For contribution for to the Hurricane Warning program for the 2004 Hurricane season.
Lord:  For contributions to numerical weather prediction models for hurricanes for the 2004 season.

## Challenges / Opportunities

- Presenting One NOAA internally & externally
- Web / Public Affairs / Legislative Affairs, etc.
- NOAA’s “Policy on Partnerships in the Provision of Environmental Information”
- NOAA Transition of Research to Application
- Incorporating the Capability to Measure Biological Data in Observing Systems including Data Policy and Management of Data
- Facilities Recapitalization
- Satellites
- Facilities
- Ships/aircraft

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
This is a small selection of the challenges and opportunities facing NOAA.

With our public affairs work, for example, we aim to demonstrate that NOAA is an agency where science gains value. 
Stating this consistently, and being clear about how, is key. We need to do this in lay language, making points that will hit home
and be understood by readers of USA Today and viewers of CNN – and that means getting the main message across in about 15 seconds!

NOAA’s “Policy on Partnerships in the Provision of Environmental Information”:  
The FRN asking for comments to this policy closed on November 2nd.  
Approximately, 140 responses have been received so far (More could arrive through post office mail).  This is about 1/10 of the number commenting on the original policy.

Update on Santorium Bill – has been referred to committee.  There is no House version (and we don’t expect one).

## One NOAA

- NOAA’s mission is complex, involving biological, chemical, and physical issues—all intertwined.
- Large-scale (regional to global) multidisciplinary studies are necessary to achieve understanding of our environment.
- One NOAA is critical to completing our mission and solving the major environmental challenges that face our nation and planet.

- The Benefits of One NOAA

## One NOAA Hurricane Success

- The Benefits of One NOAA

**Notes:**
This shows the hurricane success stories of all our partners both internal and external coming together for a common goal – to better predict the hurricanes to save lives and property.

Prior to a Hurricane making landfall:
NOAA Support to Hurricane Forecasting 
NOAA’s National Hurricane Center, a division of NOAA’s Tropical Prediction Center (TPC), maintains a continuous watch on tropical cyclones over the Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Eastern Pacific.  The Center prepares and distributes hurricane watches and warnings for the public, and also prepares and distributes marine advisories.
The local Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) and River Forecast Offices issue local, area-specific watches, warnings including inland watches and warnings for flooding events and tornadoes.   The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center provides the rainfall predictions for tropical cyclones.
NOAA Aircraft (P-3s & G-IV) conduct hurricane reconnaissance, surveillance, and research missions to provide data to the National Hurricane Center and increase forecast accuracy.  For this hurricane season to date, they have flown 95 missions, 775 hours, and deployed the following instruments for data collection:  nearly 2,000 GPS dropwindsondes and over 300 bathythermograph buoys.
Prior to land fall, NOAA Satellite and Information Service works with the National Weather Service/Hurricane Center providing geostationary satellite imagery from GOES (visible, infrared and water vapor), and at the request of the Weather Service changes the satellites observation capability to a rapid scan operations which increases the frequency of image collection to 5 or 1 minute collection.  NESDIS generates six hourly positions and intensity estimates to support the NHC.  Using satellite imagery, NESDIS produces the Tropical Rainfall Potential maps, which estimate how much rain may come out of the hurricane.  After the system makes landfall, NESDIS produces satellite precipitation estimates, which tell the rainfall potential over land.
NOAA’s AOML researchers provided expertise on how hurricanes work and helped to develop the models that are used to forecast where the hurricanes go and how strong they will be.
