Transitions

HMT-West Transition Project Report

(Nov 2012)

Over the past decade, HMT-West has made significant progress in communicating its research results to the operational forecast community along with transitioning key observation systems to operational status and incorporating well designed decision support systems. This document describes the various methodologies used to transfer key research results into operations. It also discusses current and future plans for transitioning on-going research into the operational forecast process and describe plans for incorporating new observing platforms into decision support systems that will make for easy access and understanding by operational forecasters.
