2  Since 2008, experimental satellite products from NASA’s Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) Center have been evaluated by staff at the NWS Albuquerque. The intent of the NASA SPoRT project is to transition unique observations and research capabilities to the operational weather community in order to improve short-term forecasts on a regional scale.  For each office participating in the SPoRT evaluations, a set of products for distribution was compiled based on local forecast challenges. Products used most often are listed in the table to the right.  The operational use of NASA SPoRT products at the Albuquerque National Weather Service office has enhanced decision making processes by supplementing our data void areas and enhancing our current satellite analysis techniques. We have several more years of operational use of the current GOES Platform but is there currently a “One Stop Shop” for GOES products? Are websites the best method for the distribution/evaluation of satellite (or other operational) products? How can we best communicate what products are available for testing? How is the transition from research product to operational product best accomplished?

Current GOES Products

There is no “One Stop Shop” for products, in part because of the number of collaborators and cooperative institutes. Are all products under development being tested or evaluated on a daily or regular basis? Is there a standard? A number of file formats/color curves exist – how many are necessary? For evaluation, it is important that the product be available on the operation platform.

Availability of GOES Products We need to increase visibility of products not routinely available on workstations or from vendors, and help forecasters and other users learn how new products can enhance the use of baseline or traditional products.

How to “Advertise” Products Products not routinely available or under development can be evaluated at exercises such as NOAA’s Hazardous Testbed. Forecasters who participate gain expertise with new technologies that they can then share with their local office.

SPoRT is a NASA project with a mission of transitioning unique observations and research capabilities to the operational weather community to improve short-term forecasts on a regional scale. How to “Transition” Products 1.A coherent support team 2.“Buy in” from the local staff or users 3.Two way collaboration with developers Success

Coherent Support Team 8 Product Experts - NASA SPoRT Staff Technical support - Local AWIPS Focal Point Project Manager - Local WFO “Satellite” Focal Point

“Buy In” from the Local Staff 9 Don’t increase the work load Share examples of success with the staff Share methodologies, such as AWIPS Procedures Provide training and set up examples on a Weather Event Simulator

Sharing Information

ProductsEvaluation: GOES Hybrid SPoRT Blog April 2011 – dry north winds and unstable air result in dust plumes in West Texas, visible on 1 km color composite At 1732Z, GOES image depicts the hot spots and dust AT 1745Z, GOES-R ABQ proxy shows sharper edges on dust plumes, clearer hot spots, and a clearer CO cloud field.

14  Since 2008, experimental satellite products from NASA’s Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) Center have been evaluated by staff at the NWS Albuquerque. The intent of the NASA SPoRT project is to transition unique observations and research capabilities to the operational weather community in order to improve short-term forecasts on a regional scale.  For each office participating in the SPoRT evaluations, a set of products for distribution was compiled based on local forecast challenges. Products used most often are listed in the table to the right.  The operational use of NASA SPoRT products at the Albuquerque National Weather Service office has enhanced decision making processes by supplementing our data void areas and enhancing our current satellite analysis techniques. How can we maximize the use and evaluation of current GOES products (as well as GOES-R products)? How can we best communicate information regarding new products available for operational testing? How best to support a 2-way exchange of information? How is the transition from research product to operational product best accomplished? Will evaluators have input regarding the end product?

How can the products enhance the skill of forecasts? 16 January 2010 – Snow cover resulting in a sharp gradient in max T temperatures
