Outreach Program
108
Outreach Program
Established to bridge gap between research and operations
University researchers team with weather service offices
Benefits
• Ability to quickly fund applied research
projects
• Scientific support for forecast offices
• Students often become NWS employees
• Better appreciation of operational
constraints by university researchers
• Improved forecasting
109
Outreach Program Projects
Cooperative Projects:
Partners Projects:
• Broad multi-year interactions between
university meteorology program and
local weather service office
• Focuses on single large research effort or
on several smaller, regional forecasting
problems
• Average funding ~ $35,000 per year
• One year collaboration between a single
university professor or laboratory
researcher and an operational forecaster
• Focuses on:
• Topic of mutual interest
• Sponsor regional workshops
• Research conducted generally focuses
on case studies rather than the broader
research goals of the typical Cooperative
Project
• Average funding ~ $12,000

MetEd Redesign

MetEd Redesign: Why?
Advisory Panel Recommendations from 2009
Educational Strategies, Design Strategies, and University Support
Recommendation 2: COMET should continue to study the comparative values of incorporating new Web
technologies and services especially those that facilitate social interaction of developers, instructors,
students, and experts in instructional conversations.
Recommendation 3: COMET should explore the idea of producing materials for specific user groups in such a
way that they can be tailored and exported for blended learning solutions.
Recommendation 9: COMET should provide catalogs of educational resources, and their key features. This
catalog should cross-reference educational resources closely related in subject matter (ontology service).

It's old: 7-year old
design, dated content
areas, hasn't evolved
with our program
It's not extensible: too
many constraints with
current database
structure and page-level
programming schemes
MetEd Redesign:
Why?
Module publication
process lacks integration
with project
management and
development databases
129
MetEd Redesign: How?
Rebuild of databases: tighter
integration with our project
management databases, more
extensible schema.
New look and feel: better access to
module information, better usability,
easier integration for new and future
functionality.
To address the
recommendations and
concerns, the MetEd
redesign includes the
following:
Updated programming approach to
reduce maintenance and allow for
easier updating.
Addition of social networking and
productivity tools: user ratings and
comments, module bookmarking and
notes, sharing of custom distance
learning courses.

MetEd Improvements 2010
Media integrated into MetEd search
Clean up of thousands of records:
11,660+ images and animations
searchable
Eases search and reuse of media
both internally and externally
Provides the foundation for creating
automated media galleries for all
modules (part of MetEd redesign)
131
MetEd Improvements 2010
New module template in full use
Provides bookmarking of all module
pages
Automates creation of module
download file
More conservative use of Flash without
sacrificing interactivity
Easier process for updating modules
Provides for easier reuse of content
