505 0  The rationale for further evolution of the National 
       Weather Service -- Prioritize core capabilities -- 
       Evaluate function and structure -- Leverage the entire 
       enterprise. 
520    "During the 1980s and 1990s, the National Weather Service 
       (NWS) undertook a major program called the Modernization 
       and Associated Restructuring (MAR). The MAR was officially
       completed in 2000. No comprehensive assessment of the 
       execution of the MAR plan, or comparison of the promised 
       benefits of the MAR to its actual impact, had ever been 
       conducted. Therefore, Congress asked the National Academy 
       of Sciences to conduct an end-to-end assessment. That 
       report, The National Weather Service Modernization and 
       Associated Restructuring: A Retrospective Assessment, 
       concluded that the MAR was a success. Now, twelve years 
       after the official completion of the MAR, the challenges 
       faced by the NWS are no less important than those of the 
       pre-MAR era. The three key challenges are: 1) Keeping Pace
       with accelerating scientific and technological advancement,
       2) Meeting Expanding and Evolving User Needs in an 
       increasingly information centric society, and 3) 
       Partnering with an Increasingly Capable Enterprise that 
       has grown considerably since the time of the MAR. Weather 
       Services for the Nation presents three main 
       recommendations for responding to these challenges. These 
       recommendations will help the NWS address these challenges,
       making it more agile and effective. This will put it on a 
       path to becoming second to none at integrating advances in
       science and technology into its operations and at meeting 
       user needs, leading in some areas and keeping pace in 
       others. It will have the highest quality core capabilities
       among national weather services. It will have a more agile
       organizational structure and workforce that allow it to 
       directly or indirectly reach more end-users, save more 
       lives, and help more businesses. And it will have 
       leveraged these capabilities through the broader 
       enterprise. This approach will make possible societal 
       benefits beyond what the NWS budget alone allows."--
