  1. Session 2 Conclusion: Future Product Development Activities Science Advisory Committee Meeting 26 – 28 August, 2014 National Space Science and Technology Center, Huntsville, AL

  2. 1 Looking Forward • Next 2-5 years both exciting and challenging • Launch of GOES-R and GOES-S • Aging of the MODIS instruments on Aqua and Terra • Launch of JPSS-1 • Weather Service completing roll-out of AWIPS II • SPoRT as a whole will continue to adapt to latest technologies • Current instruments aging, but new missions launching • Many efforts contributing to success of the GOES and JPSS programs • Demonstration efforts today will be tomorrow’s operational products • Leverage existing capabilities • Expertise with remote sensing; understanding transitions and assessments • Expertise with creating experimental products to address operational forecast issues • Expertise in rapidly prototyping new data sets

  3. 2 Short- to Mid-Term Opportunities • Expansion of efforts with AWIPS II • Platform offers more flexibility than legacy AWIPS I • Products and Decision Support Groups will focus on harnessing these new capabilities • Latest hires will expand use of aerosol products / air quality • Expansion of SNPP activities • Ongoing work with ATMS and CrIS • NUCAPS soundings • Access to METOP observations (Level 1C passive microwave) • Launch of Himawari • Main imager almost identical to the GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager • Collaborations with Pacific Region will offer first, operational glimpse of the true abilities of GOES-R/S

  4. 3 Additional Opportunities • SPoRT’s transition of non-weather satellite data to operations • Growing collaborations • OCONUS partners a major new activity • High latitude work with SNPP a major example • Non-CONUS with new direct broadcast (e.g., Puerto Rico) • Challenges exist, but SPoRT will adapt to new technologies • New satellite missions are a growth area for SPoRT • NASA missions main focus: GPM, SMAP, ICESAT-2, and on ISS: CATS, LIS, SAGE-III • NOAA / Other: GOES-R/S, JPSS-1, MTG, METOP-C, Himawari
