Metric calculated as the percent of Climate Prediction Center extended range temperature and precipitation outlooks (outlooks out to 14 days) exceeding Heidke Skill Score (HSS) of 10 (10% better than a climatological forecast). To better track results, three individual metrics are tracked – 1) All forecasts combined, 2) Temperature only, and 3) Precipitation only.

This metric shows the currrent number of sites where GHG measurements are made with the goal of building the number of sites per year. The Paris Accord and other resolutions to mitigate climate change rely on accurately taking stock of both natural and anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. These observing network sites enable OAR to accurately track the net global increase in GHGs and provide insights on where the bulk of the emissions are coming from. With an increased number of sites, OAR can provide more specificity and direct feedback to mitigation of emissions and the changing natural system that is so valuable to controlling the atmospheric GHG burden.

The Census Bureau has initiated two enterprise programs focused on establishing shared services, minimizing redundancy, lowering complexity, and identifying cost savings for data collection, processing, and dissemination.

Pursuant to the Presidential Memorandum, NTIA will modernize the current spectrum access ecosystem by: 1) Documenting current spectrum use and future requirements 2) Establishing the data and tools needed to automate spectrum management functions and securely make them as transparent and predictable as practicable 3) Updating spectrum access policies to provide greater flexibility and incentivize efficiency 4) Enhancing spectrum enforcement mechanisms 5) Pursuing workforce development initiatives that are critical to long-term success.

The Frames Program will enhance and link the Census Bureau's four primary frames (Business Frame, Demographic Frame, Geospatial Frame, and Job Frame) to facilitate more efficient and effective exchange and use of data throughout the enterprise. The enterprise-wide linked frames will be agile in structure, accessible for production or research on a need-to-know basis, and that adhere to best practices in terms of technology usage, data management, and methodology.
