  1. Satellite Training and Education Anthony Mostek NOAA/NWS/Training Division Mark DeMaria, James GurkaandTim Schmit NOAA/NESDIS GOES Users VI Madison, WI 4 November 2009

  2. Key Points for Training • The Satellite Training Community • Satellite Activities & Results • Evolving Technology & Operations • Feedback/Issues from Users • Prepare for Break Outs

  3. NOAA Training Community • Dedicated NWS Training Division • Many Partners in NOAA • NESDIS Cooperative Institutes & Programs • International • EUMETSAT, WMO Space Programme Virtual Laboratory, Canada/MSC, Centres of Excellence, Focus Groups, …

  4. NOAA/EUMETSAT Bilateral Program VISIT (CIRA/CIMSS) UCAR/COMET NWS Training Division WMO (VL & FG) NOAA – COMET – EUMETSAT - WMOWorking Together for Satellite Training Env Satellite Resource Center Users & Developers

  5. Goal of Training Impact Performance of Staff • Tornado Warning - Lead Time • Tornado Warning - Accuracy • Tornado Warning – False Alarm Ratio • Flash Flood Warning – Lead Time • Flash Flood Warning – Accuracy • Winter Storm Warning – Lead Time • Winter Storm Warning – Accuracy • Hurricane Track Forecasts (48 Hrs) • Hurricane Intensity Error (Knots) • Aviation Forecast – Accuracy • Aviation Forecasts – False Alarm Ratio • U.S. Seasonal Temperature – Skill • Precipitation Forecast – Day 3 Accuracy • Marine Wind Speed – Accuracy • Marine Wave Height - Accuracy Reach ALL NOAA Forecasters, Hydrologists, Scientists & Managers Aviation, Climate, Decision Support, Fire WX, Hydrology, NWP, Ocean, Tropical, Tsunami, Winter Wx, International, …

  6. How Does Training Program Work? Implementation Plan: Design/Develop Training Analyze Needs thru Workshops Evaluate Track via NOAA LMS

  7. Primary Training funds from Forecasts & Warnings Training funding & requirements from Other Programs Challenge: Training Resources from Many Programs

  8. Satellite HydroMeteorology (SHyMet) Course Dedicated to Operational Satellite Users Funded by NESDIS (GOES) with Assistance from NWS Training Division

  9. SHyMet Course Tracks • SHyMet for Interns (Bernie Connel et al Poster) • Basic Training • SHyMet for Forecasters • Development nearing completion • Hydrology, moisture, precipitation, aviation, future… • SHyMet for Tropics • Satellite Interpretation in the Tropics. • SHyMet for Hydrologists • Hydrology content focus • Currently in planning • Some early development available

  10. 2007/09 NOAA LMS Statistics* • Over 13,000 Registered Users • 400+ NOAA Developed Custom Courses • COMET, VISIT & NWS Training Division • Another 1000+ Off-the-shelf Courses • Over 70,000 certificates (passed Quiz) • OPM requires monthly reports – NOAA Leads! *New LMS started June 07

  11. 2007/09 MetEd/COMET Statistics* Over 100,000 registered users Total Countries 200+ Over 425,000 module sessions 91,000+ quizzes attempted (80,000+ certificates) Over 41,000 modules downloaded NOAA LMS + MetEd = 150,000+ Completions! *Registration system started February 07

  12. Feedback Satellite Training May 2009 Workshop • Ease of AWIPS interrogation - Currently, several step process to get POES & GOES sounder data. - Should be click-and-go process. - Need an interactive sampling capability (similar to today’s pop-up SkewT…) - Especially true of GOES sounder data. • Quick turnaround from research-to-operations - Can be cumbersome/time consuming process to get new data on AWIPS. - GOES Proving Ground and AWIPS2 may be very beneficial.

  13. Big Issue:Increased Data Flow – Fire Hoses & Changing Operations

  14. Solution:Data Integration/Synergy– Blended TPW

  15. Breakouts - Food for Thought • Rapid Changes in Technology & Operations: • How can NOAA improve how it prepares for new satellites? • How to get Products & Services to more NOAA Users? • How can Training Program work most effectively with Proving Ground to connect Development & Operations Communities?

  16. Contact Information Anthony.Mostek@noaa.gov VISIT - rammb.cira.colostate.edu/visit/visithome.asp COMET METED- meted.ucar.edu NOAA LMS - https://doc.learn.com/noaa/nws Proving Ground – cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes_r/proving-ground.html

  17. Current Status:Increased Data Flow – Hose to Trickle? • Over 2 gigabytes of satellite now • Major processing/comms challenges • Difficult to add obs/products into operations • Opportunities to improve before launch!

  18. Proving Ground & Training Evolving NOAA Operations Decision Support Services - DSS

  19.

  20. Solution:Data Integration/Synergy– Blended TPW

  21. Training Succeeds Most When You Receive Stakeholder Buy-In • Stakeholder Support For Training • AA, Office Directors, etc... • All NOAA Offices – NESDIS is getting Onboard!
