Partners

What/who is a partner?Stakeholders – those who invest in and gain from the success of the project

• NASA Earth science research and applications programs • NOAA NWS WFOs, regional offices and Headquarters

Beneficiaries - a group or organization that profits or benefits from the success of the project • stakeholders - the NASA and NOAA entities • end users – WFOs, private sector partners ENSCO, WorldWinds, TWC, universities, etc.• general public is an indirect beneficiary of SPoRT’s success through improved forecasts

provided by end users

Partners - individuals, groups, or organizations who provide an asset or capability to SPoRT• end users are partners when they provide feedback to SPoRT

SPoRT engages two types of partners (supporting and collaborative) in the planning and execution of the project activities

SPoRT engages both supporting and collaborative partners in the planning and execution of the project activities

Collaborative partners• stakeholders and beneficiaries• often providing programmatic or financial support (direct or in-kind)• some partners are both collaborating and supporting

Supporting partners • help SPoRT conduct the research and transitional activities • provide capabilities such as technical expertise, computation resources,

data, or other enabling capabilities

Internal: NASA/MSFC, UAH, ENSCO, Raytheon, USRA

External: NESDIS, JCSDA, GSFC/GMAO, NWS/SR/WFOs, JPL, UCAR/COMET, NSSL/HWT, UW, USF, CIRA, WorldWinds, Inc.

transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations

Internal: NASA/MSFC, UAH, ENSCO, Raytheon, USRA - provide infrastructure, manpower, institution and computational resources

External: Universities of Wisconsin and South Florida – access to real-time MODIS/AMSR-E /AIRS data and

associated productsNESDIS / STAR

• real-time data – AIRS / IASI radiances • products – aviation and cloud, near real-time AIRS / IASI profiles

JCSDA - expertise with GSI and computational resourcesGSFC – computational resources, WRF, LIS, and satellite simulator expertiseNWS / Southern Region / WFOs – in-kind resources and expertise, in-road to operational weather

communityJPL – near real-time SST products and oceanographic expertiseUCAR/COMET – training insight and expertiseNSSL / HWT – indirect computational resources, WRF expertise, in-road to user communityCIRA – real time TPW productsWorldWinds, Inc. - near real-time oceanographic products and expertise

All end users when they provide feedback

External Partners

SPoRT engages a variety of partners who bring various assets to the table

Partners are a key component to our success

SPoRT actively pursues new partners to help execute the SPoRT mission and obtain our vision. Much our outreach is focused on this.
