  1. WRF Microphysical Adjustments Land Information System AIRS Assimilation High-res SST Forecast Impacts Lightning Warning / Nowcasting WRF Lightning Forecasts Session 2:Short-term Forecasting Fifth Meeting of the Science Advisory Committee 18-20 November, 2009 National Space Science and Technology Center, Huntsville, AL transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations

  2. Short-term Forecasting:Introduction • Why SPoRT conducts short-term forecasting/modeling studies • NWS forecast problems addressed by unique NASA data and research • Convection and precipitation, sea / land breezes, temperature forecasts • AIRS radiances/profiles, MODIS SSTs, LIS, NALMA, CloudSat • Complements Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA) • SPoRT: Local to regional scales; 0-24 h • JCSDA: Larger spatial / temporal scales • SPoRT’s work can feed back to regional/national operational centers • NSSL, NCEP, AOML, etc. • Few others doing this work with a focus on NASA datasets transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations

  3. Short-term Forecasting:Topics and Speakers • Microphysical Parameterization Adjustments in WRF (Molthan) • Applications of the Land Information System (Case) • Impact of AIRS Radiances and Profiles on WRF Forecasts (Zavodsky) • High-Resolution SST Impacts on WRF Forecasts (Case) • Lightning Warning / Nowcasting (Buechler) • WRF Lightning Forecasts (McCaul) • Summary of Session / Future Direction (Case) transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations
