520 "The Modernization and Associated Restructuring (MAR) of
the National Weather Service (NWS) was a large and complex
re-engineering of a federal agency. The process lasted a
decade and cost an estimated 4.5 billion [dollars]. The
result was greater integration of science into weather
service activities and improved outreach and coordination
with users of weather information. The MAR created a new,
modernized NWS, and, significantly, it created a framework
that will allow the NWS to keep up with technological
changes in a more evolutionary manner. The MAR was both
necessary and generally well executed. However, it
required revolutionary, often difficult, changes. The
procurement of large, complex technical systems presented
challenges in and of itself. The MAR also affected the
career paths and personal lives of a large portion of the
field office workforce. The MAR created a new, modernized
NWS, and, significantly, it created a framework that will
allow the NWS to keep up with technological changes in a
more evolutionary manner. The National Weather Service
modernization and associated restructuring presents the
first comprehensive assessment of the execution of the MAR
and its impact on the provision of weather services in the
United States. This report provides an assessment that
addresses the past modernization as well as lessons
learned to support future improvements to NWS
capabilities"--Publisher's description.
