Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analysis For The NOAA Profiler Network

Abstract

This Cost and Operational Effective Analysis (COEA) is provided in response to a request by the Senate Appropriations Committee to compare the ... cost to upgrade the NOAA Profiler Network (NPN) over the next decade versus the short, medium, and long-term costs of ending the NPN program (see Annex H for full text). The analysis answers two questions: 1) Are the NPN winds beneficial to NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) operational products and services; and 2) Is the NPN, including the cost to upgrade the network, the most cost-effective strategy for NWS operations?
