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  targeted  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  defection  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  Oceans  -  this  system 
will  be  called  the  Typhoon  Information  Processing  System  (TIPS). 
By  FY88,  the  Tactical  Environmental  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  and  training  costs,  equipment  upgrades 
and  interface  costs  not  reflected  in  FY88.  Upgraded  data 
processing    capabilities    for    the    NEDN    Oceanographic    Data 
9-2
Distribution  System/Satellite  Processing  and  Display  System 
(NODDES/SPADS)  are  also  included  in  this  category  as  are  funds 
for  contractor  support  of  climatological  studies. 
c.  Communications : 
The  Consolidated  Communication  System  (CCS)  Replacement  at 
FLENUMOCEANCEN  will  upgrade  obsolete,  logistically  unsupportable 
data  communications  hardware  used  to  transmit  environmental  data 
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. 
d .  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/SMQ-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  ecruipment  to  reDlace  anticuated  and  unsupportable  versions  in 
use   within   NAVOCEANCOM. 
e.      General  Acencv  SuDDort: 
—  -*  —  — 
Items  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.
