NS3 11/25/86 RESOURCE NARRATIVE FOR FY88 FEDERAL PLAN FOR MET SERVICES AND SUPPORTING RESEARCH: a. Observations: Most funding under this functional category is applied toward the Navy share for procurement of a microwave imager for the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), a joint USN/USAF project. This special sensor is tailored for operation aboard a new DMSP spacecraft which will fulfill Navy data requirements for surface wind speed, precipitation intensity and identification of Arctic environmental parameters of tactical interest. Approximately $10M of FY87 dollars targetecé toward this sensor were deleted, resulting in the large ($19.9M) requirement in FY88. Additional items increased under this category include an upgraded tactical user's terminal to replace aging and unsupportable equipment used with DMSP data, and the procurement of two additional lightning detection and tracking systems (LDATS) to upgrade our capability to observe and track lightning at shore facilities. Category decreases are a reduced number of planned upper air soundings by meteorological rockets and a slight decrease in planned contractor engineering support. b. Analysis and Forecasts: The Satellite Processing Center Upgrade (SPCU) at Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FLENUMOCEANCEN) will upgrade our ability to assimilate and analyze the vast amounts of oceanographic data which will be available with the launch of the Navy Remote Ocean Sensing System (NROSS) - new equipment and software will be required to support this major program. Additionally, COMNAVOCEANCOM plans to procure upgrades for the Primary Environmental Processing System Upgrade and Expansion (PEPSUE) Information Systems (ISs) at FLENUMOCEANCEN to provide improved and timelier support to operational fleet units. A capability is also included for the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) at Naval Oceanography Command Center, Guam to automate the procedures for predicting the formation and forecasted track of tropical cyclones in the Pacific and Indian Oceéens - this system will be called the Typhoon Information Processinc System (TIPS). By FY88, the Tactical Environmentai Support System (TESS), a system which provides afloat oceanographers ready access to environmental data upon which to base tactical forecasts, will be installed at approximately 60 sites. Funding for TESS in FY87 had included installation énd training costs, ecuipment uparades and interface costs not reflected in FyY8é. Upgraded cata processing capabilities for the NEDN Ocezénographic Data 9-2
Distribution System/Satellite Processing and Display System (NODDES/SPADS) are also included in this catecory as are funds for contractor support of climatological studies. c. Communications: The Consolidated Communication System (CCS) Replacement at FLENUMOCEANCEN will upgrade ocsolete, logistically unsupportable Gata communications hardware used to transmit environmental cata and tailored tactical products to shore activities. CCS interfaces to several networks and ties FLENUMOCEANCEN to data sources worldwide, including USAF and NOAA. Satellite display devices/receivers are part of the Aviation Support Display System (ASDS) which will be installed at CONUS oceanography detachments and serve as stand-alone interfaces to provide a downlink Capability for GOES-TAP satellite data and also distribute data to customers such as aviation squadrons, thereby greatly improving the dissemination ability within NAVOCEANCOM. a. Dissemination to Users: The principal item under this category is an upgrade to the Capability to provide satellite imagery and data to both ashore and afloat units. Six AN/SM9Q-11 sets will be purchased in addition to those previously planned. Other category items include funding the ASDS system mentioned in the previous category to interface with external circuits and sources of environmental data, and meteorological and oceanographic sensors and equipment to replace antiquated and unsupportable versions in use within NAVOCEANCOM. e. General Agency Support: Ztems listed under this category involve upgrading existing meteorological equipment - overhauls, rework and reinstallation, and providing training to Navy personnel concerning the observing and tactical useage of data. End strength increases in officer personnel are reflected as is an anticipated military pay raise in FY88. Military construction increases are to provide space for additional environmental equipment - observational and communications - expected in the next few years.
