  10. Background: • Partnership began in 1940 when the Weather Bureau was transferred from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to the Department of Commerce (DOC). • Agreement was formalized in 1958 • JAWF was created in the late 1970’s as a result of former USSR crop failures and subsequent “Great Grain Robbery”. Staffed by meteorologists from USDA and DOC to provide early alert to potential problem areas. • Located at USDA headquarters in Washington, D.C. Joint Agricultural Weather Facility (JAWF) Joint Agricultural Weather Facility (JAWF)

  17. WASDE Support (Wx):

  18. WASDE Support (Wx): Meteorologists are called upon to provide detailed Weather-Crop assessments prior to Lock-Up, and radar plays an important role…

  19. Radar Products Used @ JAWF Daily Wx Briefings incorporate current composites and loops; In this case (last Tues), monitoring the potential for flood-related fieldwork delays in Texas.

  20. Radar Products Used @ JAWF Keeping abreast of current conditions via radar at the highest-possible resolution is key to USDA/WAOB operations. Radar data web sites provide a highly-valued service to USDA staff.

  21. Radar Products Used @ JAWF 60-Day Total Pcp USDA Meteorologists rely heavily on “as-is” products such as these 60-Day precipitation graphics provided by the NWS’s Southern Region Headquarters Precipitation Analysis Products.
