Total Lightning Collaborations with NASA SPoRT and the National Weather Service Southern Thunder Workshop July, 2011 Norman, OK Christopher Darden, Brian Carcione, Geoffrey Stano* (And many others) *ENSCO, Inc./NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center Huntsville, AL

History of Program 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o Began in 2003 o Expanded initially to Birmingham and Nashville o Next to Morristown o Incorporated Atlanta sensors o 2010 – Efforts expanded to KSC LDAR

From the Forecasters 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o “Directly contributed to several warning decisions” o “…LMA often helps ‘tip the scales’ towards issuing a warning” WFO Morristown Entering Marion County, TN Weak rotation Source Density – 80 POSH – 40% Favorable environment Evaluated below severe Should warning be issued? 0346 UTC0352 UTC No change through 0350 Wait for another scan? Lightning jump to 200 sources Warning issued 20 minute lead time

From the Forecasters 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o “LMA spikes correlate well with updrafts…sound meteorology” o “…LMA gives a good map on where to concentrate attention” o “Very good for aviation” 2232 UTC

AWIPS II Collaborations 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o Direct partnership with WFO Huntsville o Ingest and display plug-in o One plug-in, many products o SPoRT can support AWIPS I or AWIPS II simultaneously o Can test on SPoRT’s or WFO’s machines

Success From Training 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o “Demonstrates use in marginal events” o “LMA started as a curiosity, but is now a procedure for many in the office” o Initial training just on what the product is

“Super Tuesday” 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o “LMA indicates where to concentrate attention” o “LMA was not a 1 st decision aid but led to stronger wording and increased confidence” o More than just lightning jumps! February 6, 2008

April 27, Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o Primary emphasis on radar o 37 confirmed tornadoes o 3 EF-4s at one time o LMA used o Available time limited o Network suffered damage o Power outages Huntsville Warnings

Looking Forward 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o LMA was not an institutional product originally o Forecasters now want more detailed examples o Big challenge o Quantify values o What is “significant” o New training starts this

Improve Lightning Safety 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 From WFO Melbourne

New Products? 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 o Improve utility o Rapid accessibility o Quantify output o Important GLM ability? o Less constrained detection efficiency

Questions? 2011 Southern Thunder Workshop, Norman, Oklahoma July, 2011 Geoffrey Stano
