1 In the FY 2004 PAR, the 2002-2004 amounts for the mission support objective were distributed among the four objectives. In this PAR, the 2002-2004 mission support levels were separated out resulting in lower 2002-2004 levels than as reported in the FY 2004 PAR for the other four objectives. (back)

1 Prior to FY 2007, this measure was known as “Accuracy (%) of forecasts of ceiling and visibility (aviation forecasts).” (back)
2 From FY 2000 - 2002, NOAA used a different method to calculate accuracy - targets were significantly lower than the current method. (back)
3 For FY 2007, the aviation measures were redefined to cover the entire IFR (Instrument Flight Rule) airspace instead of the limited IFR range of 5,000 feet to three miles. This change was to increase the usefulness of the measure to the general and commercial aviation communities. This change required the measures to be re-baselined. While the numbers for accuracy and FAR appear to be reversed when comparing FY 2006 to FY 2007, they are actually measuring different things. (back)
