NWS Western Region and Coastal WFO Eureka Mel Nordquist, SOO WFO EKA Crescent City KCEC Arcata KACV Eureka WFO

User-Readiness 2014 My history involved with GOES R: Became the WR Satellite FP early GOES-R Proving Ground Kick-Off Meeting May Created the WRSAC 2010, myself and five WR SOOs Eureka WFO history with PG activities: ORI evaluation 2011 CIRA. WindSat operational evaluation with NASA SPoRT Summer CIMSS Fog Low Stratus (FLS) product evaluation Summer QPE and LPW Spring Summer (EKA tried but WFO MFR participated) How long has your WFO participated in the Satellite Proving Ground? What GOES-R/JPSS product(s) have been evaluated and for how long?

User-Readiness 2014 Discuss two: Summer 2013 eval of CIMSS FLS products. Chad Gravelle - Facilitator Mike Pavolonis – Developer and Training MFR evaluation of the CIRA QPE and LPW products with NASA SPoRT. A plug for OSVW (non-GOES R/JPSS): NASA SPoRT eval. of WindSat. (one slide) Chris White - Facilitator.

User-Readiness 2014 Current example of use of WindSat during a Gale event offshore leading to hazardous seas near shore.

User-Readiness 2014 Surveys: FLS Collaborative preparation of survey…critical for success. Forecasters doing the surveys: Gives the developers an unfiltered (by SOO) response. Also, helps forecaster internalize their understanding of the operational applications of the product. Preparation training for FLS: Two GoTo sessions with Mike Pavolonis (recorded). Introductions and discussions during morning map discussions. One-on-one sessions with SOO. SOO survey of forecasters helps identify deficiencies in forecaster understanding. What were your Proving Ground training experiences with GOES-R/JPSS products?

User-Readiness 2014 Visible image 22 May Z Morning Marine Stratus

User-Readiness 2014 Cloud Thickness Product PIR

User-Readiness 2014 PIREP and cloud thickness products off shore are in good agreement and usually are with these events… and used to help evaluate afternoon development and evening onshore push. Did the product(s) provide added value for the forecast process and/or operations?

User-Readiness 2014 Let me set the stage… (remember, very limited surface based observations over the ocean) Morning marine stratus over the coastal plain and ocean. 3 hundred feet. By midday skies cleared to the beach but stratus is expected to move back over the coastal plain by late afternoon. The question is “is a persistence forecast best?”. Did the deck lift or become thicker? What forecast problems has your WFO/NCEP Center addressed with GOES- R/JPS products? What were the strengths and weaknesses of the product(s) when they were used in the forecast process?

User-Readiness 2014 Cloud Thickness Product PIREP

User-Readiness 2014 FLS products MVFR CIGS feet VSBY 3-5 miles IFR CIGS feet 1-3 VSBY miles

User-Readiness 2014 FLS products LIFR CIGS < 500 feet VSBY < 1 mile The question is “is a persistence forecast best?”. Did the deck lift or become thicker?

User-Readiness 2014 Color table -- FLS The one thing that would be helpful would be making the color tables consistent. Timliness What deficiencies do you feel need to be tested or evaluated in the product(s) to ensure NWS implementation and “user readiness”? In what way might these products be improved to be operationally useful?

User-Readiness 2014 Training/Survey experience summary FLS Survey interviews of forecasters provided the SOO with valuable insight as to where additional training was needed. The tele-training sessions are invaluable and need to always be recorded to provide for shiftworkers. Provided additional insights into ways to use products that had not been thought of. Reinforced the need for multiple simultaneous training “chanels”, to effectively train forecasters to achieve operational proficiency. THERE IS NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL TRAINING THAT WILL WORK

User-Readiness 2014 Training experience summary WFO Medford (MFR) QPE / LPW – Summer 2013 Assessment-specific training material were provided by NASA SPoRT. Some new, some review SOO provided a one stop location on the local sharepoint page for the assessment. GOES-R has been at the forefront of our local training efforts for the past year. Forecasters have taken several modules to prepare. Setup notification crons in ops that would send a banner to AWIPS to remind the forecasters to participate in survey. The folks at NASA SPoRT were very good about providing feedback which was a great way to keep forecasters motivated.
