  • Usability Evaluation of Mobile Weather Hazard Alert Applications
    Industrial and Systems Engineering Review, 6(1), 2018 ISSN (Online): 2329-0188 Usability Evaluation of Mobile Weather Hazard Alert Applications Abdulrahman Khamaj1,2 and Ziho Kang1 1School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Oklahoma Oklahoma, United States 2School of Industrial Engineering, Jazan University Jazan, Saudi Arabia Corresponding author’s Email: [email protected] Abstract: Cell phones enable us to receive and respond to critical incidents, such as: severe storms, tornadoes, and flash floods. However, due to the small display size of cell phones, and regardless of simplified symbols or alert messages, it is possible to overlook users’ ability to interact with the available features and understand the messages in a timely manner. Untrained and trained users of the Weather Radio application participated in an experiment to perform three search tasks; (task 1: location search, task 2: alert settings, and task 3: map settings). In task 4, they evaluated two types of weather alert messages: original National Weather Service (NWS) messages vs. filtered (proposed) messages. By recording users’ completion time on the search tasks, the results showed that the time of the typing in text bar method for task 1 was significantly less than the pin on map method, while much more time was required to complete tasks 2 and 3 by the untrained users compared to the trained users. It was also revealed that the proposed messages were more effective than the original messages by both user groups. This research of user-centered designs provides a foundation to support the designs of time-critical mobile alert systems. Keywords: Usability Evaluation, Mobile, Weather application.

  • NWA 46 Annual Meeting Poster Abstracts
    NWA 46th Annual Meeting Poster Abstracts 1 Wendy Abshire Supporting the Weather, Water, & Climate Community: Education, Mentoring and Leadership Development The NWA and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) have rich histories of serving professionals and students in the atmospheric sciences. Many in the meteorology community are committed to and/or active in both groups, including the authors of this abstract. One recent collaboration highlight includes the co- sponsorship of multiple offerings of Research Operations NEXUS (RON) events. Inspired by our former colleague, RON meetings serve the membership of both groups by facilitating discussion of this important topic. Although the NWA and AMS share members, not everyone is familiar with some AMS offerings that align with this year's NWA meeting Service theme. Our presentation will highlight education, mentoring, leadership and professional development, and mental health initiatives.The AMS Education Program benefits from meteorologists and educators who contribute to and participate in earth science professional development courses for teachers. The Certified AMS Teacher program may be relevant to broadcasters in their work with local schools. The AMS Career Program offers the weather community many professional development opportunities (e.g. webinars including one addressing mental health in the atmospheric sciences, short courses, and podcasts.) AMS, like NWA, supports mentoring with opportunities to mentor and be mentored and engages in "Mentoring365".Students and professionals
