Decision Tools
Decision Tools combine data, models, and forecasts for user groups to help them make decisions. Tools provide a means for you to inspect, analyze, even add your own data and see results. Many tools can be tailored for a specific user group. For example, Puget Sound boaters are the focus of the Boater Information System (BIS) that allows them to see how the environment will impact their activities.

BIS - Puget Sound Boater Info
The Boater Information System (BIS) delivers the data Puget Sound boaters asked for: wind speed and direction, temperature, currents, and tides. Boaters can display multiple weather and oceanographic products concurrently to study the interactions among the data. Funded primarily by Washington Sea Grant Program, APL-UW employed the disciplines of Cognitive Engineering and Human Computer Interaction to give boaters this decision making tool.

ProbCast - Probability Weather Forecasting
ProbCast brings probabilistic weather forecasting information of winds, temperature, and precipitation from the University of Washington's Atmospheric Sciences Department to the public. You'll find useful visualizations with a minimum of the complexity of the underlying science. By probabilistic information we mean the probability of an expected weather event. ProbCast was funded by NSF.
