  1. Evolution of SPoRT Products • MODIS Applications • Lightning Mapping Array • Data Dissemination • Decision Support Tools / Systems • Product Training • Product Assessment Session 3:Situational Awareness 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. Situational Awareness: Introduction • Topic previously titled “Nowcasting” • Changed to represent actual operational use • Most SPoRT products based on polar orbiters • Data is not continuous • Utility in enhancing end user’s view • Lightning mapping array is exception • Very high spatial and temporal resolution • Updates between radar volume scans • Still used as a support tool • Monitor storm strength transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations

  3. Situational Awareness: Relevance • These activities directly address SPoRT’s mission • Develop unique NASA data into operational, short-term tools • MODIS, AMSR-E, NALMA • Leverage core abilities to support other non-NASA groups • CIRA TPW, NESDIS GOES Aviation, ADAS analyses, GOES-R • Bring all products into the end user’s decision support system • AWIPS I (currently) – Moving towards AWIPS II (2010) • Buy in by end user’s by using their data dissemination tools transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations

  4. Situational Awareness: Relevance • Address multiple NWS forecast concerns • Convective initiation and lightning safety • Fog, smoke, and fire monitoring • Snow cover change and extent • Sea surface temperatures • Success of transitions improved by: • Training: web modules, site visits, and science sharing • Assessments: web modules, SPoRT blog, intensive survey periods transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations
