  2. OUTLINE • Current Use of Geostationary Information • Advantages of GOES-R for Navy • Potential Uses of GOES-R for Navy • Navy Issues

  3. Current Use of Geostationary Data • Regional Centers collect real-time downlink • Pearl Harbor, San Diego, Norfolk, Rota, Bahrain, Yokosuka

  4. Current Use of Geostationary Data • Regional Centers collect real-time downlink • GOES-E, GOES-W, GOES-9, METEOSAT-5, and METEOSAT-7 • Imagery is looped to derive mesoscale “weather” • Used in conjunction with other data to produce: • Annotated Imagery Products • Super Rapid Scan Ops • Thunderstorm evolution

  5. Current Use of Geostationary Data • FNMOC Production Center • Sea surface temperature • Multi-level atmospheric wind speeds and direction • Assimilated into Global and Regional NWP Models • FNMOC Focus Products • VIS, IR, and Water Vapor Imagery • Convective Cloud Top Heights (with model input) • Simplified Dust Enhancements (IR temperature contrast over land and visible reflectance over water) • Model and Wind Vector Overlays

  6. Current Use of Geostationary Data • Joint Typhoon Warning Center • Tropical cyclone location, intensity determination, and current path • Naval Oceanographic Office • Multi-channel Sea Surface Temperature (MCSST) • Assimilated into Global and Regional Ocean Models • Ocean Features Analysis (OFA) • National Ice Center • Great Lakes and US East Coast Ice coverage

  7. Advantages of GOES-R for Navy • Advantages • Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) AND Hyperspectral Environmental Suite (HES) • Multispectral ABI Sensor • 16 channels => true color capability (w/green channel) • Cloud/ice discrimination • Dust/cloud discrimination • Fog • Hyperspectral sounder for atmospheric profiling • Resolutions to 0.5 km visible and 2.0 km infrared • Fifteen minute refresh over Western Hemisphere • Temporal and Spatial variability of the coastal environment

  8. Potential Uses of GOES-R ABI and HES

  9. Potential Uses of GOES-R ABI and HES • ATMOSPHERIC • True color imagery • Sea surface temperature (NWP) • Dust and volcanic ash • Cloud Temps and Levels (NWP) • Cloud/Snow Discrimination • Cirrus Cloud Detection • Cloud Phase (NWP) • Aerosol/Cloud Optical Properties • Rainfall estimates (NWP) • Wind speed and direction (NWP) • Hurricane intensity • Biomass burning and smoke • Fog • Aircraft Icing Potential

  10. Potential Uses of GOES-R ABI and HES • OCEANOGRAPHIC • True color imagery • Sea Surface Temperature • Ocean optical parameters • Diver Visibility • River Discharge • Sediment plumes • Chlorophyll • Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) • Relationship to salinity • Bathymetry

  11. Potential Uses of GOES-R ABI and HES • NAVOCEANO Production Center • Sea Surface Temperature • Assimilated into Navy Layered Ocean Model (NLOM), Navy Coupled Ocean Model (NCOM), and Modular Ocean Data Assimilation System (MODAS) • MODAS to Tactical Decision Aids • Ocean Color Properties • Warfighting Support Center • Product Suite • Water Clarity - Diver Visibility • Laser Performance • River Discharge/Plumes • Biologics

  12. GOES-R Navy Issues • Downlink • Communications Architecture • Support at Naval Air Stations from Aviation Hubs at Norfolk and San Diego • Southern Hemisphere Support • Navy R&D • Risk Reduction for Future Geostationary Systems
