  1. GOES-R/JPSS Update from UAF Hydrology Group Jessica Cherry, International Arctic Research Center & Institute of Northern Engineering, UAF January 6, 2014 High Latitude PG All Hands

  2. Testing Feasibility of Blowing Snow Probability Product • Blowing snow causes a lot of problems for transportation, especially on Alaska’s North Slope and Western regions • Blowing snow is modeled as a function of air temp, windspeed and snow age • Tested in research-mode, continuous WRF run and forecast-mode, HRRR-AK • Manuscript by Cherry, Morton, Alexeev being submitted this month

  3. Testing Feasibility of Blowing Snow Probability Product Windspeed (m/s) Blowing Snow Probability Index (0-1)

  4. Testing Feasibility of Blowing Snow Probability Product • Seeking collaborator for comparison/delineation of blowing snow events and low cloud/fog from GOES-R/JPSS PG products • Interested? Email Jessie at jessica.cherry@alaska.edu

  5. Leading Discussions • Ongoing working group between UAF/GINA, NOHRSC, Alaska RFC, and SPoRT on model evaluation, remote sensing, and data assimilation for improved snowmelt and river runoff modeling • Draft document outlines current information sources and modeling technology, emerging technology, and ‘low-hanging fruit’ research areas • Seeking funding opportunities

  6. Ongoing Activities • Collaboration with NASA SPoRT concerning evaluation of RGB Night-Time Microphysics product by Alaskan NWS forecast offices. • Collaboration with Alaska-Pacific RFC, North Central RFC, GMU, CCNY on River Ice and Flooding product

  7. Upcoming Activities • American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting in February • UAF’s Jiang Zhu will present poster concerning Alaskan NWP modeling including hyperspectral sounders in data assimilation • NOAA Satellite Science Week in March • UAF’s Jessica Cherry to present blowing snow product
