This is our AOR, WFO Guam

Area of Responsibility

37 Warning Points Guam Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (4 locations) Republic of the Marshall Islands (9 locations) Federated States of Micronesia (20 locations) Republic of Palau (3 locations)

This is our AOR, WFO Guam

Tropical Cyclone Activity in our AOR in One (1) Year—23 TCs

Super Typhoon Pongsona Guam, December 8 th, 2002

WFO Guam is highly dependent upon satellite imagery (from ALL Sources and Sites…Intl, NOAA/NESDIS, Univ, DOD, ESA) AWIPS and Internet --Geostationary (GEO) --Polar Orbiting (LEO) High Resolution Visual Multi-frequency IR MI (Active and Passive)

Key Dates for Himawari 8 for WFO Guam 7 Oct 2014 Himawari 8 launched 25 Jan - 7 Jul 2015 Himawari 8 becomes available to certain users (CIMMS, CIRA, NRL) Nov 2015 WFO Guam personnel receive Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) sensor training from CIMSS (J. Gerth, …) Nov/Dec 2015 Himawari data available via AWIPS and NESDIS 4 Dec 2015 MTSAT service ends Mid Dec 2016 C-band Himawari antenna construction completed at WFO Guam (CAST) Dec 2015/Jan 2016 Begin receiving INTERNET CLOUD via AWIPS - Replace 2 –T1 (1.5 Mbps) lines with faster 2 – 100 Mbps lines Summer/Fall 2016, Construction of X-band antenna to receive LEO data at WFO Guam (JPSS program)

First Operational (TC) Use of Himawari 8 at WFO Guam 10 December 2016 (**MTSAT ended 4 Dec16**)

Himawari Internet Cloud Data (K. Bessho. IWTC8, 5Dec14) Table 3: The tentative data set to be distributed via the Internet Cloud service Format Observation area Notes Himawari Standard Data - Full disk Target area Full disk: every 10 minutes Target area: 2.5 min 16 bands Finest-spatial-resolution data Portable Network Graphics (PNG) - Full disk Target area True-color images (comp of 3 visible bands) Full disk: every 10 min Target area: 2.5 min Spatial res as Standard Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) -Target area Every 2.5 minutes 16 bands Spatial res as Standard

Typical WFO Guam products and activities

Shearline Shear Line Guam

Use of ASCAT Scatterometer for Small Craft Advisories

Use of high resolution animated visual imagery

Visual Imagery (and water vapor) to perform a synoptic scale analysis

Can slowly become a tropical cyclone (rare) Can produce giant thunderstorms Can produce severe turbulence and wind shear Guam

Tropical Upper-Tropospheric Trough (TUTT) TUTT Favorable area for rain and thunderstorms; 15% of Typhoons develop from these Guam more water vapor

Animated Visible Imagery

The value of integrating microwave Imagery (LEO) with Animated, high res visual (GEO) -- It’s a typhoon; the center of the eye is near 10.8N 151.2E

Volcanic Eruptions Anatahan Island, CNMI

Volcanic Ash Anatahan Guam Saipan

Limitations and Requirements at WFO Guam Even though we have new faster comm lines, data still comes in sporadically into AWIPS2—difficult to get clean animations Backup CAST data is not at same resolution as CLOUD data AWIPS2 is not ideal for allowing for manual analysis (corrective streamlining, storm-relative animation, integration) Handling of polar orbiting swaths not efficient for comparing passes Possible TC-dedicated system Need for a McIDAS-like dedicated system to better evaluate and manipulate imagery (including integration of LEO and GEO data) Expansion of satellite sensors and sources (plus an operational need for a 24-hr help desk) Continued training and prepared training material for operational uses
