  1. NOAA’sNational Weather Service Using GIS Applications to Assist in Decision Support Brian Walawender Techniques Development Meteorologist National Weather Service Central Region HeadquartersKansas City, Missouri “America’s Weather Enterprise: Protecting Lives, Livelihoods, and Your Way of Life”

  2. Defining the Threat • NWS products can be converted in geometries: • Polygons for NWS products and storm based warnings • Points for observations and storm reports “America’s Weather Enterprise: Protecting Lives, Livelihoods, and Your Way of Life”

  3. Defining the Threat • These geometries can be combined with other geometries: • County boundaries • Highways • Census tracks to better indicate the regions at risk. “America’s Weather Enterprise: Protecting Lives, Livelihoods, and Your Way of Life”

  4. Intersecting Geometries Smith County “America’s Weather Enterprise: Protecting Lives, Livelihoods, and Your Way of Life”

  5. Web Mashups • What is a mashup? - A web page or application that combines data or functionality from two or more external sources to create a new service. • The term mashup implies easy, fast integration, frequently using open APIs and data sources to produce results that were not the original reason for producing the raw source data. “America’s Weather Enterprise: Protecting Lives, Livelihoods, and Your Way of Life”

  6. Web Mashup Examples • Finding points of interest within a polygon • Locating hazards at a point • Mapping high resolution derived radar products • Basins in flood “America’s Weather Enterprise: Protecting Lives, Livelihoods, and Your Way of Life”
