SUMMARY:

I. Abstract

collection. The NOAA National Weather
Service (NWS) National Hurricane
Center (NHC) produces tropical cyclone

text and graphical products to provide
critical information about
meteorological parameters of tropical
storms and hurricanes that could
threaten the United States and other
countries. While NOAA has a good
understanding of how many of its core
partners (i.e., emergency management
personnel and broadcast meteorologists/
members of the media) use these
graphics, it is interested in how other
professionals within key sectors (i.e.,
transportation, marine, tourism, energy)
and international users perceive these
products and use them in decisionmaking. In particular, NOAA is
interested in input on the NHC Track
Forecast Cone (often referred to as the
cone of uncertainty). In addition to
appearing on NHC’s website, the cone is
widely disseminated on social media,
online (e.g., local and national news
websites), and on television—with
broadcast meteorologists and private
weather industry often making their
own version of the graphic. This request
is for a set of related data collection
activities, including interviews, focus
groups, and a survey to collect
information from audiences that use
NHC products, particularly the Track
Forecast Cone.
II. Method of Collection
NOAA will collect information by
conducting a web-based survey within
the four sectors of interest
(transportation, marine, tourism, and
energy) and interviews and/or focus
groups with international users.
