National Weather Service Pacific Region (PR) Activities Tropical Tropopause Layer October 15-19, 2012 Honolulu, Hawaii

What we have/are doing Lightning data in the Pacific Region GPS – Antennas CIRA TPW Data Atmospheric Rivers OSWV (ASCAT & OSCAT) RRS – Upper Air Platform WRF (COSMIC Data input Guam & Samoa) MTSAT-2R, GOES-W & GOES-R PG JAMSTEC / TTL/???

What we have/are doing Lightning data in the Pacific Region ELN (WWLLN) Best east of the dateline Vaisala (GLD360) Best west of the dateline

What we have/are doing GPS – Antennas Surface data platforms Synoptic observations Very remote locations BUOYS (VERY VERY FEW)

Valuable Operational Data CIRA TPW Data Atmospheric Rivers Looking for the driver

Valuable Operational Data OSWV (ASCAT & OSCAT)

Operational Systems MTSAT-2R GOES-W GOES-R PG

GOES-R PG

Important data sets Numerous other polar satellites WRF (COSMIC Data input Guam & Samoa) UH support in developing this

What we have/are doing RRS Vaisala RS92 radiosonde 1 Second data capture

Collaborative work Concluding remarks: JAMSTEC / TTL/??? Keep up the great work! VERY Important to include operational folks along the way!
