Bridging DPFS (Data Bridging DPFS (Data Proc. & Forecasting) Proc. & Forecasting)
and PWSand PWSAdded value process A general trend to get forecasters’ expertise in digital form
(database forecasting & related verification) A strong need for PWS / EWS to rely on human expertise as well A willingness to provide users with detailed forecasts at county
level
A need to increase the number of products & users while keeping staff at reasonable level
Hence concepts of « Forecast once Produce many » Met Editor (routine work) Awareness Map Editor (severe weather)
… as a bridge between Forecasting and PWS / EWS activities

MFI Information System Comprehensive, proven, and scalable (HQ+RCs) Implemented in various configurations through Global projects
MeteoFactory® a key solution for PWS / EWS at HQ/regional levels Crucial in NMSs cost recovery policy whatever WIS
implementation modalities
MFI & WIS WIS « spirit » anticipated through MFI’s CIPS solution MFI supports NMS’ sovereignty and ability to set up data
policies
MFI with NMSs (« with you for weather ») For short term full IS implementation For mid-term WIS compliance, be aware of time scales and
let’s have everybody on board…
