Join us at the SPoRT Data Assimilation Workshop to explore challenges and opportunities in data assimilation, acquire expertise, and foster collaborative partnerships. Discover how the SPoRT Center applies NASA technology to improve short-term weather prediction and explore future opportunities for NASA observations.

SPoRT Data Assimilation Workshop • Motivation for workshop • Need to re-focus SPoRT data assimilation activities • several projects ending – papers being published • personnel changes • Looked internal, now to NSSTC for ideas, expertise, and collaborative opportunities • Data assimilation challenges • Acquiring and maintaining computer resources • Obtaining data assimilation expertise • Transitioning to operations
The SPoRT Center – Infusing NASA Technology Into NWS WFOs Dr. Gary Jedlovec, NASA / MSFC Earth Science Office SPoRT website http://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/sport Collaborative Partner Blog http://www.nsstc.uah.edu/sportblog/ SPoRT – Short-term Prediction and Research Transition Mission of the SPoRT Center: Apply NASA measurement systems and unique Earth science research to improve the accuracy of short-term (0-24 hr) weather prediction at the regional and local scale
The Next 5 Years • Continue to demonstrate utility of current and future NASA observations • For data assimilation: • Look at IASI, and plan for NPOESS instruments • Strategize on other opportunties • Work more collaboratively with regional centers • NSSL • AOML/HRD • and other testbeds • DTC, JHT, HMT, HWT
SPoRT Data Assimilation Workshop Expectations and Outcomes • Better understanding and appreciation of data assimilation activities in NSSTC • Potential collaboration partners / products • shared resources and expertise • low hanging fruit for SPoRT transitions • future proposal opportunities • Ideas to strengthen NSSTC data assimilation program • Better vision for future SPoRT data assimilation activities
