1 NCDC's Application of Climate Data to Tourism Business Decision-Making Climate, Weather, and Tourism Workshop November 14-15, 2008 East Carolina University Greenville, NC Neal Lott NOAA s National Climatic Data Center NOAA s National Climatic Data Center 1

2 How are our data used?...a few examples. Engineering design: Ice loads for towers, cables, wires, etc Wind loads for buildings, etc Heating/cooling requirements Drainage/runoff extremes (pipes, culverts) Aircraft operations: Crosswinds (runway design), instrument landing systems, etc Space shuttle accident investigation: Nexrad data Ship routing and oil rig placement Global re-analyses for climate trends assessment, etc HAZMAT operations and studies: oil spills, toxic release, etc Weather risk management industry (now > $40 billion per year) Insurance investigations and verification Court cases and criminal investigations Aircraft accident investigations Wind energy studies: Wind farms, US and overseas Commercial innovation and design: Typical and extreme conditions for a new market Tourism support NOAA s National Climatic Data Center 2
