MODIS Single Channel The primary challenge in using polar orbiting data is temporal resolution. SPoRT has developed a hybrid technique that replaces GOES pixels with MODIS when available. This allows for looping and viewing of higher resolution data comparable to GOES-R. MODIS GOES IR Hybrid Example transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations

MODIS Channel Differencing Current MODIS bands can be used as proxies for future GOES-R ABI capabilities Single channel and channel differencing techniques produce higher resolution products than currently available from GOES. Fog Overlay of the channel differencing MODIS fog product with semi-transparent terrain in AWIPS, highlighting valley fogs in high spatial resolution (1 km). transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations

MODIS Color Composites The GOES-R ABI will have additional spectral bands, allowing for color composites. Color composites assist with image classification and the detection of various features. SPoRT provides these products in AWIPS for evaluation and testing. land snow cloud False Color Composite True Color Composite fire/burn scar smoke plume transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations

Developing RGB Image Techniques EUMETSAT has developed several multispectral RGB composites from the SEVERI instrument. By combining information from multiple channels, resulting images depict: – Air mass characteristics – Cloud microphysics – Separation of fog, low cloud, snow – Dust and other aerosols SPoRT is experimenting with techniques to display these images in: – NAWIPS – AWIPS – AWIPS II transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations MODIS Air Mass in AWIPS Hurricane Earl (MODIS)

Lightning Proxies for GLM The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) will assist in the detection and prediction of severe weather. As a proxy for GLM capabilities, SPoRT provides data from lightning mapping arrays: – North Alabama (NALMA) – Washington, D.C. (DCLMA) – NASA Kennedy Space Center – Other networks are available in CONUS and data are requested These LMAs are used to develop products comparable to future GLM capabilities. land transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Possible GLM Coverage and Lightning Climatology LMA Coverage

Utility of Lightning Data In addition to public safety, lightning data provides information related to storm strength and intensification.
