Active Severe Tstm environment in MSG Seviri domain Dual-pol Doppler radars in the area for CHUVA Extra soundings, sites and # TBD Opportunity to prepare for total lightning + ABI-like data for svr tstms View angle from MSG at ~26 S, 56 E is similar to view angle of Northern Plains from GOES-East
CHUVA-Foz • Brazilians to deploy to Foz Do Iguacu in late 2012: • X-band dual-pol radar • 5-10 rain gauges • 4 disdrometers • 1 micro-rain radar • Additional upper-air soundings and ground instrumentation • S-band dual-pol likely in Cascavel (~120 km NE) • Several of us (Cecil, Nesbitt, Zipser, Houze, Salio, Machado, others) hope to augment the 2012 campaign: • Extra soundings • LMA • Extra radar • Then build toward a more comprehensive campaign in Northern Argentina after GOES-R launch
