From Computation to Knowledge Management: The Changing Paradigm of Decision Support for Meteorological Forecasting
Henry Linger, Frada Burstein · Journal of Decision System · 2001
The research reported in this paper aims to improve meteorological decision-making through the application of knowledge management to the forecasting process. A comprehensive framework of knowledge management is proposed that includes facilities to access and model forecasters’ explicit, tacit and experiential knowledge. To this end, we are engaged in changing the IT paradigm underlying the meteorological forecasting process from simulation models based on scientific normative models to intelligent support. This change of paradigm allows forecasters not only to perform the task but also to share knowledge and learn from their collective experience. The paper describes a knowledge management system that allows diverse technologies to be employed in providing decision support for meteorological forecasting.
