AWIPS-II Data Delivery Project Overview December 2013
Outline Project Overview and Status Technical Approach and Key Features IOC Architecture Post IOC Architecture and Functionality 2
AWIPS Program Overview AWIPS Product Improvement - AWIPS II Migration: Migrate existing AWIPS capabilities to a modern, robust software architecture (e.g., Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)) to unify stove piped applications into single framework AWIPS II Extended: Improving services to enable Weather Ready Nation Extend AWIPS II architecture to the entire NWS weather enterprise: NAWIPS Migration and Thin Client Extend AWIPS capabilities to meet major future mission challenges: Data Delivery, Collaboration, and Information Generation Program Manager: Ronla Henry, NWS/OST AWIPS II Extended Project Manger: Steve Schotz NWS/OST Primary Contract: Raytheon Technical Services 3
AWIPS II Extended Data Delivery Project Summary Status Data Delivery Objectives Develop operational robust infrastructure to support intelligent access to non-local data provider datasets Key Benefits Supports high impact forecast and decision assistance processes by allowing users to access just the data they need by space, time, parameter Mitigates demands on infrastructure associated with high growth in data volume e.g. ensembles, high-resolution models and GOES-R Status: IOC released with 13.5.1 version of AWIPS II at Regional HQs Release to WFOs/RFCs and NCs in coordination with AWIPS II Activation Additional functionality scheduled for 2Q FY2014 FOC Functionality scheduled for 2Q FY2015 4
Data Delivery Technical Approach Key Features Allow AWIPS-II users to access data not routinely delivered via SBN Use Smart push/pull technologies for users to discover and request data On an ad-hoc basis Through subscription services Users can temporally, spatially, and/or parametrically subset datasets Reduces bandwidth Reduces data processing at receiving AWIPS sites Integrate request/receive functionality into AWIPS-II Data Provider Strategy IOC Data Provider: NOMADS (model data), Post IOC Data Providers MADIS (Obs Data), PDA (Satellite Data), Others TBD Work with data providers and Integrated Dissemination Program (IDP) to support AWIPS II requirements; Services will be standards based to be as compatible with IDP when it comes on line Smart bandwidth management Data retrieval latencies and priority are user specified. Software provides predicted latencies based on concurrent subscriptions size and available bandwidth - IOC AWIPS WAN delivery IOC SBN Subscription Channel Utilized for shared subscriptions among sites Post IOC 5
