## Primary Centers of Responsibility (PCR)

**PCR....A component concept of IDPS CONOPS**
**Used to optimize NPOESS R&D efforts**
**Each Central provided NPOESS R&D resources**
**Evolutionary Algorithm R&D (EARD) resources**
**EARD Programmer/Manager**
**PCR regarded as NPOESS authority on EDR**
**Ultimate source for the “official” EDRs/archived EDRs**
**Designates/serves as source for the ancillary data set**
**Controls the IDPS configuration used to produce the “official” set of EDRs for which it is PCR**
**Impacts engineering design**

## PCR Selection Drives Design Decision

**    ****X  **** **
**   ****NESDIS**

**AFWA** X

- X  **NAVOCEANO**

- X **FNMOC**

**ADS/CLASS**

**(Notional)**

- Increase NESDIS processing capacity?
-                              Or
- Purchase cross-country communications (and how much?)

- or

**        ****Ancillary Data Sets**
**                         ****or**
** ****Environmental Data Records?**

**Atmospheric Soundings**

**NAVOCEANO**
**Multichannel**
**SST & Altimetry**

**FNMOC**
**Microwave**
**Imagery**

**AFWA**
**Visible & IR Mapped Cloud Imagery &  Analysis**

**55**
**EDRs**

- Which Central
-  to be PCR?
- * Secondary Central
-  of  Responsibility?
- For which EDRs?

- Mechanism
- to
- arbitrate
- PCR/SCR
-  allocation?

- PCRs and SCRs for 55 EDRs

- * SCRs collaborate with and test PCR recommended algorithm changes

## Status of IDPS CONOPS

**Nearing completion...awaiting inputs**
**Held a Centrals Conclave at IPO, 1-3 May**
**Recently received consolidated inputs from follow-up Centrals’ July TIM**
**Received Central IDPS CONOPS Appendices from NAVO and FNMOC...awaiting AFWA and NESDIS**
**Data Distribution Servers at Centrals**
**IPO has Tasked PDRR Contractors to Conduct Feasibility Studies and Provide ROM**
**Impacts Short Term Storage Issue**

## GAO Review of NPOESS

**Requested by House Committee on Science**
**Study Initiated in August 2001**
**Overall Objectives**
- Evaluate the status, plans, and technical and programmatic risks associated with NPOESS acquisition and operations
- Identify challenges in managing the vast streams of data from NPOESS satellites
- Determine whether the IPO is effectively applying lessons learned from prior NOAA satellite acquisition efforts
**Entrance meetings with NWS and IPO in August**
**Numerous meetings with IPO to discuss all 3 objectives**
**No definitive schedule for completion of review**
- Draft report may be available for spring Congressional hearings after release of FY 2003 PB

## GAO Review of NPOESS

**Current GAO Review Team focus is on objective #2**
**Reviews initiated in November with DoD and NOAA**
**COL Jamilkowski is DoD POC**
**GAO Team to visit METOC OPCs (FNMOC, NAVO, AFWA, NCEP/NESDIS)**
**Focus of discussions on satellite data utilization**
**Current DMSP/POES data management overview**
**Data flow from satellites through center to end users and archives**
**Current uses of satellite data**
**Current center processing capacity and storage**
**Plans for NPOESS data management**
**Plans to "grow" the centers’ capacity, storage, and numerical models to get ready for NPOESS increased data volumes**
**Budget plans for growing these capabilities**

## GAO Review of NPOESS

**GAO Team request for information from OPCs**
**Current data flow architecture for DMSP data**
**DMSP/POES and NPOESS portions of a current information technology architecture (ITA) and target ITA**
**Migration plans for reaching the target ITA**
**Plans to assimilate NPOESS data into weather models**
**Plans and budget information supporting efforts to "grow" the centers’ infrastructure & models**

## Satellite Data Assimilation

**COPC requested IPO to “lead and fund a vigorous data assimilation plan”**
**IPO agrees with COPC precepts**
**Effective assimilation of satellite data into operational products is important to success of future satellite programs (NPOESS/GOES-R) --- However**
**IPO is not authorized nor funded to develop satellite data assimilation techniques as part of approved program**
**IPO has provided >$3M over last 5 years for satellite data assimilation experiments and development of techniques for processing data from precursor instruments**
**NCEP, OSDPD, AFRL, NRL, and academic institutions**
**(AIRS, MODIS, SSM/IS, WindSat)**
**IPO will provide up to $500K annually to the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation**
**Funding contingent upon integration of DoD OPCs (FNMOC, NAVO, AFWA) into the JCSDA**

## Summary

**EMD award slipped due to late delivery of requirements document**
**Restructured PDRR**
**Moved work forward to protect NPP CDR (system PDR)**
**Deferred some work to post award to “create” funds**
**Today -**
**Requirements approval on track**
**EXCOM approval on track**
- No impediment to Aug 02 EMD award
- FY02 budget cuts cause massive restructure of program
- Will result in program slip
- Jeopardizes NPP, Windsat; slips NPOESS C-1 & causes coverage gap
