  1. Overview of NWS/Eastern Region Satellite Program Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  2. Outline Overview of ER Satellite Program Participation in GOES-R PG JPSS Data Usage Review Successes and Challenges Discussion Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  3. WFO Satellite Focal Points Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  4. WFO Satellite Focal Points Major Duties: -Serve as local satellite subject matter expert -Assist local SOO/DOH with satellite-related R20 projects and local training development -Inform staff of operational satellite issues & new data Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  5. GOES-R PG Evaluations A twofold evaluation approach in ER: “Official” Product Evaluation Signed Partner/Provider Agreement via NWS/OS & T Finite period of evaluation Formal forecaster feedback between WFO, developers, ERH/SSD Short SOO summary “science” report “Casual” Product Evaluation No official agreement No set period of evaluation. WFO can “turn on/off” data. Informal feedback between WFO, developers, ERH/SSD. Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  6. GOES-R PG Evaluations PG data, like all other R20 data, comes through the ER LDM “backdoor”. SSD prioritizes which data comes through. Is it ‘official’ PG data? How big/frequent are the files? Is another region already requesting ? AWIPS I/II? Examine/adjust LDM config. Request from WFO to SSD Sat. Provider, SR or CR LDM AWIPS I/2 display config. ER WFOs ER LDM Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  7. GOES-R PG “Participants” PG Products Other Products GOES-R FLS UW/SSEC CI UAH/SPoRT CI SNPP/VIIRS CIRA Sim WRF ABI CIRA Low Cloud/Fog UAH/SPoRT RGB UAH/SPoRT WRF Lightning/Pseudo GLM EPDT UW/SSEC MODIS UAH/SPoRT SST UAH/SPoRT LMA UAH/SPoRT LIS STAR/SFR Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  8. Training Provider training materials *Recommended as a “first training stop” VISIT Satellite Chats *Recommended as a “second stop” NOAA Testbeds with GOES-R Products *Only select ER WFOs Job Sheets /One-One local Training Spring/Fall Local Workshops Two Regional Satellite Virtual Workshops Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  9. Regional Setup…One stop! Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  10. WFO GSP NowAviation GOES-R Products not just used in the “warning” process….applications for gridded forecast prep as well. Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  11. GOES-R PG Feedback Aviation concerns in the northeast: Placement and coverage of convection, and FLS. ‘Convective Toolkit’ products have struggled in the east with weakly forced convection. GOES-R FLS use has been an overall good success for ER WFOs. Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  16. JPSS/VIIRS Feedback VIIRS data for CONUS not on SBN (AWIPS 2 is Configured) NUCAPS data on SBN, AWIPS 2 not configured. ER LDM pulling in VIIRS DNB, VIS and IR Channels Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  17. GOES-R PG Feedback Successes Challenges FLS and CI limitations with mid/high clouds Convective Toolkit Products (weakly forced esp.) Keeping up with AWIPS 1/ AWIPS II Configurations and data movement More effective evaluation process Regional FLS Product Use Use of some GOES-R Products in GFE/Smart Tools. Increasing use of JPSS data/assimilated products Overall PG activity! Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY

  18. Discussion What’s next for the GOES-R/JPSS Proving Grounds? Transitioning of GOES-R/JPSS algorithms to NWS operations Satellite PG/R20: Who develops training/AWIPS configs.? AWIPS 1 – AWIPS 2 transition. How do we bring disjointed training efforts together? Eastern Region Headquarters Bohemia, NY
