SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The report 

of the HIRWG is composed pursuant to 

the request from the Under Secretary of 

Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere 

to the SAB to conduct an external 

review of NOAA’s hurricane intensity 

research and development enterprise. 

This review addresses questions and 

proposes recommendations regarding 

the appropriateness of the mix of 

scientific activities conducted and/or 

sponsored by NOAA to its mission and 

on the organization of NOAA hurricane 

intensity research and science 

enterprise. 

The minority report of the HIRWG has 

been drafted to provide additional 

viewpoints to the majority report of the 

HIRWG. The minority report provides 

alternative ideas regarding modeling 

and prediction activities, observations 

and data collection, laboratory 

experiments, and NOAA’s organization 

in relation to hurricane intensity 

research and development. 

The SAB is chartered under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act and is 

the only Federal Advisory Committee 

with the responsibility to advise the 

Under Secretary on long- and short-term 

strategies for research, education, and 

application of science to resource 

management and environmental 

assessment and prediction.
