Present Need of Transfer. Opinions of Scientific Men. Opinions of the Press. Supplement In 1887 a bill was introduced transferring the weather service of the signal service bureau to the new Department of Agriculture, then about to be formed. This bill was passed in the House, and much discussed and passed with amendments in the Senate. On being returned to the House, it only failed to become a law by the expiration of the time of Congress before it was reached on the calendar. During 1888 it again came up, and passed in the House, but failed in the Senate after long debate, sev eral of the senators who voted against it assigning as their reason that they had not had time to post themselves on the subject, but intended to do so before the next Congress. It will be seen that the subject of the transfer of the weather service has been agitated in succeeding sessions of Congress since Gen. Logan introduced his bill seven years ago. A perusal of the speeches made in the Senate must convince one that the delay in making the transfer has arisen largely from that natural conservatism which would examine the question thoroughly before making changes in existing institutions; and the attention of the senators has been so much occupied by the larger affairs of the government, that each time the bill is brought up some one will be found saying that be has not had time to examine into the ques tion, and it would be better not to make the transfer hastily. This de lay has been encouraged by the strenuous and persistent effort against the transfer which has been made by the military ofi'lcers holding positions in the present bureau, to whom many of the members of Congress apply for their information concerning the bureau.

This book was released on 2000-09-07 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workshop report examines the capability of the forecast system to efficiently transfer weather and climate research findings into improved operational forecast capabilities. It looks in particular at the Environmental Modeling Center of the National Weather Service and environmental observational satellite programs. Using these examples, the report identifies several shortcomings in the capability to transition from research to operations. Successful transitions from R&D to operational implementation requires (1) understanding of the importance (and risks) of the transition, (2) development and maintenance of appropriate transition plans, (3) adequate resource provision, and (4) continuous feedback (in both directions) between the R&D and operational activities.

This book was released on 2012-02-25 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Modernization and Associated Restructuring (MAR) of the National Weather Service (NWS) was a large and complex re-engineering of a federal agency. The process lasted a decade and cost an estimated $4.5 billion. The result was greater integration of science into weather service activities and improved outreach and coordination with users of weather information. The MAR created a new, modernized NWS, and, significantly, it created a framework that will allow the NWS to keep up with technological changes in a more evolutionary manner. The MAR was both necessary and generally well executed. However, it required revolutionary, often difficult, changes. The procurement of large, complex technical systems presented challenges in and of itself. The MAR also affected the career paths and personal lives of a large portion of the field office workforce. The MAR created a new, modernized NWS, and, significantly, it created a framework that will allow the NWS to keep up with technological changes in a more evolutionary manner. The National Weather Service Modernization and Associated Restructuring presents the first comprehensive assessment of the execution of the MAR and its impact on the provision of weather services in the United States. This report provides an assessment that addresses the past modernization as well as lessons learned to support future improvements to NWS capabilities.
