  2. Updated AWIPS RequirementsGOES/POES Satellite Products • GOES/POES Satellite Soundings • GOES Sounder Derived Product Images • GOES High Density Winds • Automated Precipitation Estimates • Blended Polar Sounder and Microwave Products

  3. Updated AWIPS RequirementsGOES/POES Satellite Products(cont’d) • GOES Imager DPI • Scatterometer Ocean Surface Winds • GOES Sounder Imagery • Blended Polar Visible and Infrared Imagery • Volcanic Ash Graphics

  4. GOES Satellite Soundings Hourly Sounder Coverage (GOES-E & GOES-W) GOES-W (Variable) GOES-W GOES-E GOES-E (Variable) Two sectors are scanned each hour by each satellite (GOES-E & GOES-W) ‘Variable’ sectors can be changed in response to significant weather events

  5. GOES Satellite Soundings Individual Temperature/Dewpoint Profiles GOES-10 Total Precipitable Water Soundings 25 February 1999 http://orbit-net.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/soundings/

  6. Temperature/Moisture Soundings • Digital Sounding Files (BUFR Format) • AWIPS Workstation Applications Processor will • provide capability for display, and computation • of secondary atmospheric parameters • Course on GOES Atmospheric Soundings • Presented at AMS Conference in Phoenix, AZ, January 1998

  10. POES Satellite Soundings Individual Temperature/Moisture Profile

  11. GOES Sounder Derived Product Images (Lifted Index, TPW, Surface Temp and Cloud Top Pressure) False-color GOES-8/10 Total Precipitable Water http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/realtime/

  12. GOES Sounder Derived Product Images (Lifted Index, TPW, Surface Temp and Cloud Top Pressure) GOES Cloud-Top Pressure (mb) http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/realtime/

  13. GOES Wind Index (WINDEX)

  14. GOES Dry Microburst Potential Index (DMPI) Likelihood of high based, low precipitation microbursts - West/Central US

  15. GOES Microburst Day Potential Index This index is useful for showing the potential for wet microbursts in the southeast United States. An index value approaching 1 represents a high risk.

  16. GOES High Density Winds • Winds Derived in Several Categories • Cloud-Drift IR Winds (Imager) • Water Vapor Winds (Imager) • Visible Winds (Imager) • Water Vapor Winds (Sounder) http://orbit-net.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/winds/ Link to winds presentation

  24. GOES Sounder Radiance Imagery (False Color) • Images to be re-mapped in Lambert-Conformal Projection • Color enhancements will be required to display important • meteorological information (Unique enhancements will be • required for each of 18 infrared channels) • AWIPS sectors (CONUS, Regional, etc.) still to be defined • Examples from AMS presentation…

  25. Implementation Schedule/Issues Prioritized AWIPS Satellite Product Requirements Completed by NWS/OM; Incorporated Into SPSRB (Satellite Products and Services Review Board) List for Resource Allocation AWIPS ‘Build 5’ is First Opportunity for Including New Products/Applications in AWIPS System - Early/Mid 2000 NWS Will Accept “Experimental” Products Pending Operational Implementation at NESDIS; ORA (Office of Research and Applications) Will Distribute Routine “Experimental” Products Many New AWIPS Products Currently Available on Internet AWIPS Applications Software Needed for Product Display and Analysis
