Description:Modernization and Restructuring (MAR) is now rising above the horizon in the National Weather Service. This period in the National Weather Service will substantially change the manner in which forecasts are produced in the field office. As new technology, such as NEXRAD and AWIPS, enters the field office environment, demands for new products and services from this technology will increase. How these demands will be met with present and future staffing in an eight hour forecast shift through different stages in MAR is now being examined. Before a new framework is carved out for the future, the NWS must ascertain how our forecasters presently utilize their time on shift. To quantify how time is presently spent on shift, Central Region, Meteorological Services Division conducted a forecaster time utilization survey through its field forecast offices.
