  1. STAR and GOES-R Presented by Timothy J. Schmit

  2. Requirement, Science, and Benefit Mission Goals • Protect, Restore, and Manage the Use of Coastal and Ocean Resources through an Ecosystem Approach to Management • Understand Climate Variability and Change to Enhance Society’s Ability to Plan and Respond • Serve Society’s Needs for Weather and Water Information • Support the Nation’s Commerce with Information for Safe, Efficient, and Environmentally Sound Transportation Science • GOES-R information furthers each of NOAA’s mission goals • STAR supports the GOES-R program in many ways Benefits • National Weather Service and their customers (Emergency planners, General public, Numerical Weather Prediction, Space Weather, etc.) • Aviation • Air Quality • Department of Defense • International users (Central America, South America, Pacific, etc.) • Broadcasters, Etc.

  4. Outline • Advanced Planning ABI band selection TRD, Performance and Operational Requirements Document AOLTAP, etc. • Current activities GOES-RRR AWG/Calibration WG Proving Ground Possible wavier requests Education/Training SME/COMET/VISITview presentations/papers • Future Continue current activities Capitalization plan Advanced soundings Day 2 products (blended products, etc.)

  5. Advanced Planning • STAR was very involved during the early GOES-R development. This includes: formulation studies, ABI band selection and modification, Technical Requirement Documents, Performance and Operational Requirements Document, etc. ABI documents from 1999 when ABI was only 8 spectral bands, now it is 16. circa 1999

  6. ABI Visible/Near-IR and IR Bands Schmit et al, 2005

  7. Requirements Flow – Major Systems GOES-R

  8. Teams/ Organizations Involved in the GOES-R Requirements Process • NOAA Observing System Council (NOSC) • Program Management Council • GOES-R Operational Requirements Working Group (GORWG) • NOAA Mission Goal Teams • NOAA/NESDIS Center for SaTellite Applications and Research (STAR) • NESDIS Technical Advisory Panels (TAPS) • MIT – Lincoln Laboratory • NASA • Swales Aerospace • The Aerospace Corporation • Satellite and Instrument Vendors Blue denotes STAR involvement

  9. Ops Flt GOES-R External Requirements Flow: STAR involvement NOAA Executive Panel (NEP) Deputy Under Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere (DUS) NOAA Program Management Council (PMC) Stakeholders and/or Users NOAA Executive Council (NEC) NOAA Observing System Council (NOSC) Satellite Products Services Review Board (SPSRB) GOES Operational Requirements WG (GORWG) GOES-R Program Office (GPO) • CCRs • Waivers • Etc. User Community Ops Project A&O Contractor

  10. Current Activities • STAR is very involved in current GOES-R activities, including (but not limited to): GOES-RRR, AWG (ATBDs)/Calibration WG, Proving Ground, Wavier requests, Education/Training (SME/COMET/VISITview) and presentations/papers. • Imagery • Soundings • Winds • Clouds • Aviation • Hydrology • Land Surface • Cryosphere • Radiation Budget • Lightning • Space Environment • SST and Ocean Dynamics • Aerosols / Air Quality / Atmospheric Chemistry • Proxy Data • Cal/Val (sensor) • Algorithm Integration AWG

  17. Successful 6th GOES Users' Conference held 3-5 November 2009 Monona Terrace Convention Center Madison, Wisconsin • The 6th Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Users' Conference (GUC) was held in Madison, Wisconsin, November 3-5, 2009. All the conference objectives were achieved. • The conference focus was the current, near-term, and future geostationary systems. There were over 260 participants from government, private industry, academia, and the international community, including representatives from EUropean organization for the exploitation of METeorological SATellites (EUMETSAT), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), China, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, and Canada. The conference consisted of oral presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, and a town hall meeting. • STAR supported the 6th GUC in many ways.

  18. Future Activities • STAR is will be involved in future GOES-R series activities, including, continue current activities, capitalization plan(s), advanced geo soundings (possible commercial data-buy option), Day 2 products, calibration, validation, conferences, publications, outreach, etc. (under construction)

  19. Algorithm Validation StrategyA wide variety of reference (“Ground Truth”) datasets have been assembled and are being used… Aeronet StationsAerosol Optical Depth CALIPSO, CLOUDSATClouds, Icing Bouys, ShipsSST SURFRAD, ARMLST, Radiation Sfc Snow Reports, NESDIS IMSSnow Radiosondes Winds, Temperature, Moisture, Stability Rain GuagesPrecipitation NWP AnalysesWinds, Temperature, Moisture National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN)Lightning Pilot ReportsIcing,Turbulence Ground-based OzoneOzone AWG Product Application Teams and the Proxy Data Team have assembled a wide variety of “Ground Truth” datasets to use for Level-2 product validation activities

  20. Summary • STAR has supported the GOES-R program in many ways ABI band selection Performance and Operational Requirements Document Requirements AOLTAP, etc. • STAR is supporting the GOES-R program in many ways GOES-RRR AWG (ATBDs) /CWG Proving Ground Wavier requests Education/Training (SME/COMET) • STAR will supported the GOES-R series program in many ways capitalization plan advanced soundings Day 2 products Calibration Validation • GOES-R information furthers each of NOAA’s mission goals • STAR supports the GOES-R program in many ways
