  1. GOES-R Proving Ground Status/Update Bonnie Reed January 2011

  2. Aviation Weather • Aviation Weather Center (Kansas City) • Convective Initiation and Nearcasting (Dec-Jan) • Volcanic Ash: Detection and Height; SO2 Detection (Jan-Feb) • Aircraft Icing Threat (Feb-Mar) • Low Cloud and Fog (Mar-Apr) • WRF Lightning Threat (Apr-May) • AK Aviation Weather Unit (Anchorage) • Volcanic Ash: Detection and Height (Dec) • SO2 Detection (Dec) • Low Cloud and Fog (Dec) • Cloud Top Height (Dec) • Convective Initiation (Dec) • NWS Regions • In discussions with Scott Birch to bring in Aviation related products to WR WFOs and CWSUs. WFO Monterey and CWSU Oakland have expressed interest in participating in PG demonstration. Will expand to other regions after we develop a good “model” with WR. • NCEP GEMPAK/Unidata GEMPAK decoder hindering data display • Additional personnel added to support AWC Testbed • PG data is available throughout the Alaska Region via NWS LDM and available in AWIPS in Fairbanks WFO and Alaska AWU

  3. High Latitude Testbed and Alaska Demonstration • Focus: Snow/Cloud Discrimination • Dates: Nov 2010 – Mar 2011 (pushed to right) • Products: • Volcanic Ash: Detection and Height • Cloud Phase • Cloud/Snow Discrimination (Cloud Mask) • Low Cloud and Fog • SO2 Detection • POCs: Gary Hufford, Jessie Cherry, Tom Heinrichs • Status: • Products are flowing from CIMSS to GINA (in Fairbanks). • The NWS firewall has been upgraded and permissions set so that data is flowing into the Alaska NWS local data manager (LDM). • Data is being displayed in AWIPS in the Fairbanks WFO. • WFO job shadows performed by GINA staff; good two-way flow of knowledge. • Volcanic ash products to AAWU 1-9 products via LDM from Fairbanks office. • Still working with the color palette bars to be installed shortly for AWIPS viewing; getting help form CIMSS • PG data is available throughout the Alaska Region via NWS LDM and available in AWIPS in Fairbanks WFO and Alaska AWU; will expand service to other WFOs once palettes resolved.

  4. Space Weather • Focus: Space Weather • Dates: May 2011 – Apr 2013 • Products: Solar Thematic Maps • POCs: University of Colorado Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) and SWPC • Status: Proposal Phase • Note: The list of Space Weather products in Appendix 1, for legacy and funding reasons, refers to Level-1B products, not Level-2 products. The Space Weather proposal applies to space weather level-2 products under development within the GOES-R Risk Reduction project.

  5. Storm Prediction CenterHazardous Weather Testbed • Focus: Convection • Dates: May 2011 – Jun 2011 • Products: • Cloud and Moisture Imagery • Lightning Detection (multiple products) • Enhanced “V”/ Overshooting Top Detection • Convective Initiation (UWCI and SATCAST) • Nearcasting Model • NSSL - Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) based Lightning Threat Forecast • CAPS Ensemble Simulated Satellite Imagery • POCs: Chris Siewert, Kristin Kuhlman, Steven Weiss, Travis Smith • Status: Proposal Phase

  6. NESDIS/Satellite Analysis Branch • Focus: Hazardous Weather • Dates: Apr 2011 – Sep 2011 • Products: • Aerosol Detection (including dust and smoke) • Fire and Hot Spot Characterization • Aerosol Optical Depth • Vegetation Index • Volcanic Ash: Detection and Height • SO2 Detection • Low Cloud and Fog • POC: Jamie Kibler • Status: Proposal Phase • Focus: Rainfall Potential, Probability, and Guidance • Dates: May 2011 – Dec 2011 • Products: • Rainfall Potential • Probability of Rainfall • Cloud Liquid Water • POC: Jamie Kibler • Status: Proposal Phase

  7. Ocean Prediction Center& NESDIS Satellite Analysis Branch • Focus: Offshore T-Storms • Dates: Jun 2011 – Dec 2011 • Products: • Cloud/Moisture Imagery Convective Initiation • Cloud Top Phase Cloud Top Height • Cloud Top Temperature Derived Stability Indices • Enhanced "V"/OTD Lightning Detection • POCs: Joseph Sienkiewicz (OPC) • Jamie Kibler (SAB) • Status: Initial planning telecom held with providers and OPC & SAB, Developing Operations plan for demonstration, Next planning telecom early Jan.

  8. Hydrometeorological Prediction Center& NESDIS Satellite Analysis Branch • Focus: Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPFs) • Dates: Jul 2011- Jan 2012 • Products: • Cloud/Moisture Imagery • Derived Motion Winds • RGB Air Mass • Rainfall Rate/QPE • POCs: Ed Danaher and Dave Novak (HPC) • Jamie Kibler (SAB) • Status: Initial planning telecom held with providers and HPC & SAB, Developing Operations plan for demonstration, Next planning telecom early Jan.

  9. Around the corner… (planning/early development stage) • Events • Satellite Focused Fire Weather Event Simulation (IMET Conference, March) • Spring Experiment at SPC/HWT 2011 (May) • Pacific Region Demonstration • Upcoming Meetings • AMS (many GOES-R PG Talks) • PG Face to Face (Boulder, CO, May) • OCONUS Focused Workshop (Juneau, AK, July) • Other Activities • PG Article for BAMS • WFO Operations Plan • Polar Proving Ground (JPSS)
