  • Public Weather Service Value for Money Review
    Public Weather Service Value for Money Review March 2015 Mike Gray Public Weather Service Customer Group Secretariat Page 1 of 25 Public Weather Service Value for Money Review Executive Summary Through analysing existing studies and literature on the economic value of weather forecasts, and using up to date figures, this review concludes with high confidence that the benefits of the Public Weather Service (PWS) to the UK are very likely to exceed £1bn per annum, and are likely to be close to £1.5bn per annum. This is consistent with the findings of the previous value for money study prepared for the PWS Customer Group (PWSCG) by PA from 2007 which assessed the economic benefits of the PWS at £614m per annum and, given its limited scope, considered the benefits to be many times that figure. Sectors considered in the review were the perceived value to the public (which had an estimated benefit of £480m per annum), value to aviation (£400m per annum), added value to other sectors of the economy (£400m per annum), storm damage avoidance (£80m per annum), value to land transport (£100m per annum) and flood damage avoidance (£64m per annum). Other benefits included the hosting of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) in the UK (£60m per annum) and business of over €200m for the UK space industry by being able to bid for EUMETSAT (the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) contracts by virtue of UK membership paid for by the PWS. It is estimated that the PWS contributes to reducing deaths from high impact weather by many tens per year, and many more during individual severe events such as North Sea coastal flooding.

  • Andrea Doria/Stockholm Collision
    An Objective Forensic Analysis of the Collision Between Stockholm and Andrea Doria By Samuel Halpern FOREWORD Mr. Halpern has done an excellent job of documenting the causes of the Andrea Doria/Stockholm collision. By careful analysis of the course recorder traces, Mr. Halpern points out the role that the helmsman of the Stockholm played in the collision. The analysis of the course recorder traces seems to lay to rest the theory that the wrong radar range scale was used by the 3rd Mate of the Stockholm just prior to the collision. In addition, the collision dynamics calculations and “what if” scenarios were also quite interesting in that they illustrate for the reader what might have been. Mr. Halpern’s list of contributing factors spell out the major causes of the collision. All in all, this is a very well researched paper that should be part of any Andrea Doria/Stockholm collision buff’s reading on the subject. Capt. Les Eadie Assistant Professor of Marine Transportation Operations Maine Maritime Academy Castine, Maine INTRODUCTION On the night of July 25, 1956 the eastbound Swedish passenger liner Stockholm collided with the westbound Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria in what was to be described as the world’s first major radar assisted collision at sea. The collision happened approximately 180 nautical miles east of the Ambrose Lightship at 11:11 p.m. local time. The Andrea Doria was struck just aft and below the starboard bridge wing and almost immediately took on a severe list of almost 20 degrees to starboard leaving half of her lifeboats unusable.

Professionwide Awards and Honors REMINGTON HONOR MEDAL The Remington Honor Medal, named for eminent community pharmacist, manufacturer, and educator Joseph P. Remington (1847–1918), was established in 1918 to recognize distinguished service on behalf of American pharmacy during the preceding years, culminating in the past year, or during a long period of outstanding activity or fruitful achievement. John D. Grabenstein, BS, EdM, MS, PhD, DSc (Hon), FAPhA, FASHP, is a pharmacist, vaccinologist, and public health leader. In 1996, he wrote “Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery,” APhA’s CDC-recognized course training more than 340,000 pharmacists. As a U.S. Army Colonel, Dr. Grabenstein directed vaccination policy and programs for the U.S. Department of Defense and organized “Immunization University” to train clinicians across health disciplines, spanning multiple continents and dozens of ships at sea. As executive director of medical affairs for Merck Vaccines, he led a global enterprise annually distributing more than 180 million doses of 13 vaccines.
