Collaboration

1) Have you experienced any technical issues with the collaboration process (software issues, missing NBM grids, missing ISC grids, etc.)?*
2) Have you experienced any process related issues with collaboration (conference call length or participation, excessive frequency of conference calls, excessive Collaborate chats, etc.)?*
3) Have you experienced instances of WFOs who are unwilling to collaborate?*
4) How often have you attempted to collaborate changes but WFOs have been unwilling to do so?*
5) Are you noticing un-collaborated changes that are impacting grid consistency?*
6) How would you rate the overall effectiveness of collaboration with WFOs?*

Rate based on the scale: 1 - 3 = Unsatisfactory 4 - 7 = Satisfactory 8 - 10 = Highly Satisfactory _______________________________

7) Did you get added value from the collaboration?*

Rating Scale: 1 (no value) to 10 (exceptional value)

8) Was the time invested in collaboration worthwhile?*

Rating Scale: 1 (not worthwhile) to 10 (extremely worthwhile)


Forecast Process

9) How often are you making significant changes from the NBM to the Day 1 QPF before the collaboration window?*

Note the collaboration windows are between 0500Z-0630Z and 1700Z-1830Z.

10) How often are you making significant changes from the NBM to the Day 1 QPF during the collaboration window?*
11) How often are you making significant changes from the NBM to the Day 2 and 3 QPF?*
12) Does the collaborated CFP yield a more accurate forecast than the non-collaborated CFP?*
13) How often are you making changes to the NBM QPF to remove non-meteorological artifacts?*
14) What effect has the CFP demonstration had on the amount of time spent on QPF?*

IDSS

15) Did the outcome of the CFP result in changes to your IDSS messaging?*
16) Have you observed any examples of IDSS improvements due to the CFP?*
17) Have you observed any examples of IDSS being degraded due to the CFP?*
18) Have you received feedback from core partners regarding precipitation forecasts that can be directly attributed to the CFP?*
19) How would you categorize time savings unlocked by the CFP, as it relates to QPF and additional time to do IDSS?*

Summary

20) On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the overall success of the CFP?*

Rate based on the scale: 1 = Very Unsuccessful 5 = Neither Successful or Unsuccessful 10 = Extremely Successful _______________________________

21) Do you agree with this statement? “Overall, the CFP has contributed positively to our ability to provide quality IDSS”.*
22) How has the CFP changed the amount of time spent on the QPF process (including collaboration and coordination) during relatively quiet or low impact weather regimes?*
23) How has the CFP changed the amount of time spent on the QPF process (including collaboration and coordination) during high impact or busy weather regimes?*
