  1. 1. FY08 GIMPAP Project Proposal Title Page • Title: National and International Training • Project Type: GOES Utilization • Status: new • Duration: 2 years • Leads: • Bernadette Connell (CIRA) • Other Participants: • VISIT Team: D. Bikos and J. Braun (CIRA), and S. Bachmeier and S. Lindstrom (CIMSS) • Tony Mostek, NWS Training Division • Mike Davison, International Desk at NCEP • WMO Training Centers of Excellence: • Vilma Castro, University of Costa Rica • Kathy-Ann Cesar, Caribbean Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology • Daniel Barrera, University of Buenos Aires • Juan Ceballos, Brazilian National Institute for Space Research • Hiro Gosden (CIRA/CSU) • Daniel Coleman (CIRA/CSU undergraduate)

  2. 2. Project Summary • Leverage on and enhance existing training structure for GOES • Nationally – VISIT and SHyMet programs • Internationally • WMO Virtual Lab Focus Group • WMO Training Events • Results: • Informed user capable of making decisions on use of GOES channels and products • International capacity building

  3. 3. Motivation/Justification • Supports NOAA Mission Goal(s): • Weather and Water • Commerce and Transportation • Climate Enhanced training will prepare forecaster/manager on how to utilize new imagery and products to provide services in these areas. • Supports NOAA commitments to WMO Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites • Training expectations for satellite operators addressed in paper 17 from the CGMS-XXXII congress, 2004 • Support of the virtual laboratory for training • Supports NOAA commitments to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)

  4. 4. Methodology • For select cases (severe weather, hurricanes, fog, fire, volcanic eruptions, etc.) provide examples on use of GOES (10, 11, 12) imagery and products • Ongoing development of satellite climatology for Costa Rica and Barbados • Provide support and training materials as appropriate for monthly international weather briefings. • Provide support and training materials for the CoEs in WMO regions III and IV • 2-week WMO/GEOSS workshops to be held at the CoEs in Brazil and Argentina in March 2008. • other local workshops and training events

  5. 5. Summary of Previous Results • VISIT is an established distance interactive online training program within the NWS. • Recently developed SHyMet program also utilized by NWS • Interaction with the Costa Rica and Barbados CoEs since 1996 • satellite climatology archives since 1997 • Monthly international weather briefings via the internet are established for Central and South America and the Caribbean. On average, participants from 15-20 countries join in each month. • Success in recent virtual global High Profile Training Event in October 2006. • 4 core lectures delivered in English and Spanish • global estimate: 4000 participants from 100 countries • regionally: 128 participants from 21 countries • Activities utilize VISITview tool and voice through phone (national) or internet (international). TV mode is also available.

  6. VISITview Monthly International Weather Briefing via the Internet

  7. 6. Expected Outcomes • Workforce that is knowledgeable about imagery and products offered on GOES and capable of making informed weather decisions. • International activities – completed briefing sessions and training events. A web page will list the activities and include: • summaries of monthly sessions • agenda and highlights of training events • case examples as appropriate • A conference paper will be written describing the satelllite climatologies. • A conference paper will be written describing the training activities.

  8. TRAINING

  9. 7. Major Milestones • FY08 • Contributions to VISIT and SHyMet training as needed • Web page listing International activities • Support of monthly international weather briefings • Support of international satellite training event in Brazil/Argentina in March 2008. • Support of satellite climatologies for Costa Rica and Barbados • Conference paper describing training activities • FY09 • Contributions to VISIT and SHyMet training as needed • Updated web page listing International activities • Support of monthly international weather briefings • Support of virtual international satellite training event for the Americas and the Caribbean • Support of satellite climatologies for Costa Rica and Barbados • Conference paper on satellite climatology analysis

  10. 8. Funding Profile (K) • Summary of leveraged funding • VISIT and SHyMet funds are specifically designated for development of training modules and courses for NWS. Both programs utilize the VISITview tool. • Ground System AWIPS supports the infrastructure of AWIPS

  11. 9. Expected Purchase Items • FY08 $61,000 Total Project Budget • Fed travel – none • Fed publications – none • CIRA Labor – $57,250 2.75 mths, RA/RS, 10 mths SH • CIRA non labor - $ 3,750 • Mug fee – $1,000 • Travel - $2,000 • Publications - none • Equipment/supplies - none • Overhead @ 25% - $ 750 • FY09 $64,000 Total Project Budget • (62K): 13 months of Res. Sci./student hourly support (2 people) from 5/09 to 5/10 • (2K): Publication charge
