Abstract: Transitioning research and development projects into use, including operations (R2O), commercialization (R2C), applications (R2A), and other uses (R2X) is central to NOAA’s mission of science, service, and stewardship. The NOAA Office of Research, Transition, and Application (ORTA) has been helping NOAA offices accelerate transitions to ensure NOAA’s investment in research and development contributes to its service mission. During this Fireside Chat, speakers from across NOAA will discuss their experiences with transition planning including both from the R&D and operational perspectives. This seminar will feature three projects, the Warn on Forecast System (WoFS), the Surface Ocean CO2 Reference Observing Network (SOCONET), and the Dynamic Ensemble-based Scenarios for IDSS (DESI).
