  1. GOES-R PG DemonstrationAviation Weather • Aviation Weather Center (Kansas City) • Convective Initiation and Nearcasting (Dec-Jan) • Volcanic Ash: Detection and Height; SO2 Detection (Dec-Jan) • Aircraft Icing Threat (Jan-Feb) • Low Cloud and Fog (Feb-Mar) • WRF Lightning Threat (Mar-Apr) • AK Aviation Weather Unit (Anchorage) • Convective Initiation (Nov) • Volcanic Ash: Detection and Height (Nov) • SO2 Detection (Nov) • Cloud Top Height (Dec) • Low Cloud and Fog (Nov) • NWS Regions (TBD) • Plan to work with RHQ to bring in Aviation related products to their WFOs.

  2. GOES-R PG DemonstrationHPC (Jointly with SAB) • Focus: Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPFs) • Dates: May 2011-April 2012 • Products: • Cloud/Moisture Imagery • Derived Motion Winds • RGB Air Mass (initially not in N-AWIPS) • Rainfall Rate/QPE • POCs: Ed Danaher and Dave Novak (HPC) Jamie Kibler (SAB) • Status: Providers and consumers should expect a phone call coordination telecon soon
