  1. NCEP Current Data Usage and Future Plans Dr. Bradley Ballish NCEP/NCO/PMBPresentation to JAG/ODAA October 2008 at OFCM “Where America’s Climate and Weather Services Begin”

  2. Overview • Current satellite types in operations • Planned new satellite types for testing or operations • Current conventional data used in operations • Planned new conventional data for testing or operations

  3. HIRS sounder radiances AMSU-A sounder radiances AMSU-B sounder radiances MHS radiances GOES sounder radiances GOES, Meteosat, GMS winds GOES layer precipitable water SSM/I precipitation rates TRMM precipitation rates SSM/I ocean surface wind speed AIRS MODIS Winds COSMIC Quikscat ocean surface wind vectors Windsat AVHRR SST AVHRR vegetation fraction AVHRR surface type Multi-satellite snow cover Multi-satellite sea ice SBUV/2 ozone profile and total ozone Altimeter sea level obs (ocean data assimilation) Current Satellite Types in Operations More information can be found at: http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/data_processing/prepbufr.doc/table_18.htm

  4. ASCAT is being tested IASI may be operational in December 2008 CHAMP GPS RO is being tested GRACE-A is being tested GOME ozone is being tested AMSR may be operational this month AVHRR radiances are being tested AMSR is being monitored GRAS GPS RO is being tested Planned Satellite Typesfor Testing or Operations

  5. Current Conventional Data Used in Operations • The GDAS/GFS data usage can be found at: http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/data_processing/prepbufr.doc/table_2.htm • The CDAS data usage can be found at: http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/data_processing/prepbufr.doc/table_3.htm • The NAM/NDAS data usage can be found at: http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/data_processing/prepbufr.doc/table_4.htm • The RUC data usage can be found at: http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/data_processing/prepbufr.doc/table_5.htm

  6. Planned New Conventional Data for Testing or Operations • NCEP has a detailed data mining list for future data use or acquisition. See the next slide for a sample of this. Since this data has restricted internal information, contact Michelle.Mainelli@noaa.gov for information
