  1. The NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) Center GOES-R Proving Ground Update 10 September, 2012 Contributions from:Gary Jedlovec, Kevin Fuell, Geoffrey Stano, Matt Smith, Anita LeRoy (UAH)

  2. VIIRS Product Suite Available

  3. VIIRS Channels • SPoRT coordinating VIIRS transition with partners • All partners using the hybrid have access • Albuquerque, Huntsville, Morristown, and Raleigh first to investigate RGBs

  4. Lightning and National Centers • Follow-up activities from visiting scientist trips • Preparing Pseudo-GLM for ops introduction • Great coordination with Aviation Weather Center and Storm Prediction Center GOES-R Champions Day-Night Band on July 5 at 0740 UTC

  5. PGLM Evaluation at WFOs • Preparing lightning safety evaluation (spring) • Collaboration • WFO Morristown, TN • Chattanooga EMA • EMA will use Google Earth display • WFO Melbourne coordinating 2nd project PGLM centered on Chattanooga, TN

  6. Lightning Tool in AWIPS II • Collaboration with Southern Region ROC • Test algorithms before full WFO transition • Test tool ahead of 2013 Spring Program

  7. Night-time Microphysics RGB Evaluation • To occur Fall 2012 (Sept/Oct) • Focus: Fog vs. Low Clouds • RGBs from MODIS and VIIRS • Include VIIRS Day-Night-Band to evaluate • Compare to 11-3.9µm difference imagery • WFOs: HUN, BMX, OHX, MRX, RAH • Products available via web and user’s DSS VIIRS Day-Night Band

  8. Alaska NESDIS QPE Product Transition Pacific Collaborating with Bob Kuligowski Have started planning training materials Data and install instructions successfully implemented at Alaska RFC Alaska WFOs working to setup in AWIPS I Pacific Region working with local WFO to implement. OCONUS Evaluation of product being planned for Fall/Winter 2012/13 Evaluation may include W. Coast WFOs for focus on atmospheric rivers. Future: Provide to National Centers via AREA files CONUS

  9. UAH CI V2.2 • New Strength of Signal display • Evaluated at HWT 2012, AWC 2012 Summer Experiment, and during 2012 summer convection by partner NWS-WFOs (MFL, MLB, HUN, ABQ) in operational setting • WFOs submitted 31 evaluations from 12 different users and corresponded via email and NWS Chat • Evaluations led to improvements in training, a small “bug” fix, and upgrades to NAWIPS display.

  10. OCONUS Activities Hybrid IR image w/ GOES • QPE Transition to AK/Pac. • See previous slide • Hybrid Sample Data Sets • Providing small data set for testing in Alaska and Pacific Regions • Mostly single channel imagery • To include MODIS and VIIRS • RGB Imagery (MODIS/VIIRS) • Currently developing product suite • Domains: Alaska, Hawaii, W. Atlantic • National Centers interested in RGBs over W. Atlantic • Using UAF/GINA, SSEC and NASA/LANCE to acquire data. • Future: VIIRS/MODIS via Hawaii DB Hybrid IR image at next frame w/ MODIS inserted

  11. SPoRT WFO Visits • Southern Region Headquarters • Partnership with Regional Operations Center (ROC) • WFO Corpus Christi, Texas • WFO Miami, Florida • WFO Morristown, Tennessee • WFO Nashville, Tennessee (upcoming) • VSP trip to NHC on RGB application/training
