  1. NASA/SPoRT GOES-R PG update Transition and Use of RGB Imagery UAH CI Evaluation at WFOs PG Related Presentations at NWA/GUC QPE Pseudo-GLM / AWIPS II

  2. Transition and Use of RGB Imagery • SPoRT is producing RGBs for variety of end users • SEVIRI (6), MODIS (3), and GOES Sounder (1) RGB imagery • now available in NAWIPS, AWIPS, and AWIPS II • distributed via ftp and LDM • National Center Applications • NHC application to Irene, Lee, and Katia (see Folmer PPT) • GOES-Sounder RGB Airmass captures strong front (9/16)http://nasasport.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/goes-sounder-rgb-airmass-captures-strong-front/(Folmer) MODIS compliments with a greater contrast of colors

  3. RGB Imagery Applications • Another Valuable Use of the RGB Airmass Product – WAA Identification and Comparison to Model (10/13) • http://nasasport.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/another-valuable-use-of-the-rgb-airmass-product/ (by Folmer) MODIS Air Mass RGB shows moisture extends over much of Texas compared to the Water Vapor imagery alone. November 7, 2011 – Conference Call

  4. UAH Convective Initiation at WFOs • Testbed: MFL, MLB, HUN • Case: Nocturnal Convection • Summary: • Confidence for convective initiation would not have been specific to any one feature (necessarily), but would have increased with the persistent signature between 0845 UTC and 0915 UTC. • This confidence was accentuated with GOES rapid scan operations at the time. • Training module and feedback form on SPoRT website

  5. Presentations related to GOES-R PG • Overview of GOES-R Proving Ground Activities at SPoRT (Jedlovec) • Developing and Evaluating RGB Composite MODIS Imagery for Applications in NWS Forecast Offices (Molthan) • Demonstration of RGB Composite Imagery at NOAA National Centers in Preparation for GOES-R (Fuell) • Evaluation of NASA SPoRT's Pseudo-Geostationary Lightning Mapper Products in the 2011 Spring Program (Stano) • Optimizing the Lightning Forecast Algorithm within the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (McCaul) SEVIRI Air Mass P-GLM & Reflectivity • QPE – Quantitative Precipitation Estimate • Working with Bob Kuligowski: Expecting sample data in near future • Plan to transition into AWIPS / AWIPS II for use in OCONUS area

  6. PGLM Total Lightning Activities • SPoRT fully supporting products in AWIPS II • Pseudo GLM • Will be used in 2012 • Flash extent / initiation and max flash density • New training underway • Upgrades planned based on September’s GLM Science Meeting • Mosaic in development • Continuing work to obtain more network data • New AWIPS II features • Loop tracker • Time series graph Loop Tracker PGLM Lightning and GOES 30 min Max PGLM Radar Other SPoRT Products November 7, 2011 – Conference Call

  7. Looking Forward • All SPoRT PG products in AWIPS II (Early 2012) • Edex and CAVE plug-ins being developed / modified • Demonstration in Southern Region ROC • HWT Spring Experiment • SPoRT WRF • Enhanced lightning suite • RGB products • UAH CI upgrades • VIIRS imagery / RGB and Hybrid products (Spring 2012)
