6 Satellite Data Source Catalog (COPC AI) Mr. Johansen, NESDIS, has completed the first draft of a catalog of satellite data sources from inputs received from NAVO, FNMOC, JCSDA, and internet WMO sites. Source information is 10 fields per line. JAG/ODAA members recommended a field be added to reflect if data sets are being acquired or are planned to be acquired by a member OPC. The first draft of the catalog is under review by the JAG/ODAA satellite sub-group and recommendations will be addressed in a separate sub-group teleconference.

7 Delivery of NAVO SST data to NCEP in BUFR Current system used to deliver NAVO SST data to EMC will be discontinued Arranging continuation of delivery of NAVO SST data to NCEP Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) NCEP requests the data in BUFR format and have provided the BUFR tables and encoder to NAVO NAVO is continuing this effort with NCEP/EMC

12 ESDA TR-1 For Official Use Only (FOUO) ESDA TR-1 replaced the Shared Processing Program (SPP) Operations Manual (POM) in 2009 POM was restricted to FOUO limited distribution by 2002 agreement FOUO exempted from Freedom of Information Act due to environmental satellite data and space related operational information TR-1 undergoing FOUO review/revalidation

13 Aircraft Waypoints The NWSTG waypoint dictionary was updated on 22 February 2011 using the FAA dictionary which was shown optimal for the NWSTG. The NWSTG waypoint dictionary was updated on 22 February 2011 using the FAA dictionary which was shown optimal for the NWSTG. The NCEP waypoint dictionary update is being tested. The NCEP waypoint dictionary update is being tested. Since AFWA’s data base system does not currently allow multiple locations for one waypoint name, we will try to find just the actively used location for each waypoint with multiple locations for AFWA.

14 New Issues ( AFWA Replacement of Weather Products Management and Distribution System (WPMDS) AFWA will be replacing its main external facing communication system: WPMDS. Transition dates still TBD. AFWA will be replacing its main external facing communication system: WPMDS. Transition dates still TBD. A candidate replacement system called Moving Weather and its related catalog called Discover Weather is being evaluated.
