Mission Thread Goals 4 Mission Thread Goals: - Establish representative scenarios to validate GOES-R operational viability - Engage operational stakeholders on usage of GOES-R - Potential value to training effort - Documentation in NWS Virtual Lab - Support performance & content requirements for GOES-R AWIPS-II development - How many and which image loops are needed? - How many and which products need to be open at one time? - How many and which tools (D2D, GFE) need to be open per CAVE session? - Derive validation objectives to test the GOES-R AWIPS-II system usability We acknowledge that Regions, WFOs, and even individual forecasters have a great deal of flexibility in how they configure and use their systems and data to carry out their mission. We are creating “reference” scenarios that will be used to evaluate the mission viability of the GOES-R infrastructure

Conversely, dry areas with no snow and high land surface temp may warrant a red flag area.

Backup Slides 13

User Stories 14 2 hour – 45 min timeframe (prior to anticipated event) I want to be able to display the 0.64um imagery, the 6.19 um imagery, the 6.95 um imagery, and the 11.2 um imagery as raster images in one D2D pane. I am looking for shortwave troughs and vorticity maxima in the two water vapor channels. The location of these phenomenon will focus my surveillance for development of severe thunderstorms. I want to look at this imagery once or twice an hour. I need to be able to toggle easily back and forth between these water vapor images. The color table needs to be calibrated such that these phenomenon can be identified with no color manipulation required. The times of the data need to be in sync with one another. I need to see a loop of data two to three hours long displayed in about 10 seconds. The 0.64 um and 11.2 um data also needs to be displayed for situational awareness. I also need to display 500mb vorticity contours from high resolution short-term weather models (RAP, HRRR, WRF, etc) in this same D2D pane. I need to be able to compare the location/movement of vorticity maximum between both the models and between the water vapor imagery. This will allow me to decide which model is best representing the current atmospheric state and better inform my decision of which model solution to believe. I need this model data to be a loop starting two to three hours in the past and takes me out three to four hours into the future that takes about 20 second to display. Each of these contours needs to be displayed in a different color. The model data output needs to be temporally in sync with one another and with the water vapor imagery as close as possible.
