Session 2: Focus of Future Modeling and Data Assimilation Activities Sixth Meeting of the Science Advisory Committee 28 February – 1 March, 2012 National Space Science and Technology Center, Huntsville, AL transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations
Summary/Conclusions • SPoRT’s mission is to improve short-term, regional weather forecasts using unique NASA and NOAA products and capabilities • SPoRT modeling and data assimilation research addresses forecast challenges at WFOs and National Centers by applying unique satellite data, capabilities, and research with specific end-users in mind • These unique research opportunities have allowed for increased collaborations with operational end-users • Local: SR and GL modeling collaborations, transition of LIS output to WFOs, inclusion of SPoRT SST, LIS, and GVFs in WRF-EMS, AIRS profile data in HRRRAK • National: AIRS and atmospheric rivers at HMT, SPoRT-WRF at NOAA’s HWT/SPC, collaboration with JCSDA & EMC • SPoRT’s work feeds back to regional and national operational centers through active collaborations transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations
Future Work • Maintain and continue to develop modeling and data assimilation collaborations with WFOs and National Centers • Targeted modeling/forecast assessment activities with WFOs • Apply current SPoRT research activities to new/near-future satellite observations to SPoRT-WRF for continued collaboration with HWT/SPC • Apply SPoRT research expertise in areas of DA (Zavodsky, Chou), land surface modeling (Case), and microphysics (Molthan) to collaborate more closely with EMC by applying the SPoRT paradigm to understand their research challenges and using the NAM Launcher • Pursue additional proposal opportunities that will allow SPoRT modeling and data assimilation to perform new research or collaborate with new partners • Explore innovative computational resources for successfully maintaining all currently-planned modeling activities and more transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations
