Final WIAT Upgrade
  • Forecasting Methodologies
  • Perfect Environmental Knowledge
  • Produces baseline output for comparisons
  • Best case scenario if 100 of METOC
    recommendations are accepted
  • Gaussian Random Forecasting

    Planning forecasts
  • Time-Shift Forecasting
  • Enables investigation of the impact of mistiming
    the prediction of significant weather events
  • Actual weather from another timeframe used as
    forecast
  • User Inputs number of 6 hour blocks to shift for
    both Execution Planning forecasts
  • Location-Shift Forecasting
  • Enables investigation of the effects of errors in
    significant weather events location
  • Actual weather from another environment grid will
    be used as forecast
  • User inputs number of environment cells to shift
    vertically horizontally
  • Percent Accuracy Random Forecasting

7
Forecast Methodology Selection
  • Weather Prediction Methodology is chosen through
    the use of a pull down menu
  • Methods 1-4 are generated automatically by the
    tool.

8
Tabular Input Toolbar
  • Each tab in the toolbar contains parameters
    associated with that category of input values

9
Detailed Parameter Information
Details for each parameter include variable type,
valid inputs, and notes describing how the value
impacts the case

15
OPNAV Transition Update
  • Goal
  • Introduce WIAT to representatives of the World
    Class Modeling Initiative personnel from the
    Sea Strike branch of OPNAV N81
  • Provide WIAT as a software tool for use in future
    analyses and assessments
  • Meeting scheduled for May 24
  • Attendees include
  • LCDR Jeff DeBrine Director WCM
  • Chrissy Juergens Studies Director for N81 Sea
    Strike
  • LCDR Lance Lantier Maritime/Littoral Ops
    Analyst for N81 Sea Strike

16
ESG Tutorial
  • ESG tutorial has been developed for in-house
    (SPA) users of WIAT
  • Rudimentary introduction into the ESG online
    database
  • Outlines the process for downloading METOC
    feature data for use in WIAT and other modeling
    applications
  • Is this useful to present during WIAT Training?

Too large for Boat Ops
Actual
Risk to Ops
No Impact on Operations
Predicted
26
Next Steps
  • Develop mission-level TACSIT model for Small Boat
    operations including
