The Satellite Analysis Branch Hazard Mitigation Programs Satellite Analysis Branch 6 th GOES Users’ Conference November 2-5, 2009 Jamie Kibler Satellite Analysis Branch, NOAA/NESDIS/OSDPD/SSD Brian Hughes Satellite Services Division, NOAA/NESDIS/OSDPD The Satellite Analysis Branch (SAB) serves as the operational focal point for real –time imagery products and multi-disciplinary environmental analyses within NOAA Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS). The Branch’s primary mission is to operate new proof of concept satellite analysis techniques needed to support disaster mitigation and warning services for U.S. federal agencies and the international community. Prototype environmental analyses are provided to National Weather Service (NWS) Warning and Forecast Offices, National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and to oceanographic and other environmental users of NESDIS satellite products. The SAB is staffed 24x7 to monitor and distribute products related to volcanic eruptions, ash extent and movement, global tropical cyclone analysis, wildfire detection and smoke emissions monitoring, and heavy precipitation nowcasting and analysis. The SAB also participates as an operational test-bed for new satellite product algorithms, before products are placed into routine operations. This poster presents an overview of SAB operations, the major hazard categories, examples of output products, and information on how to obtain those products. The SAB produces a graphical analysis of fire hotspots and smoke utilizing data from GOES instruments, Polar orbiting instruments, and other non- NOAA satellites. The hotspots are meant to represent areas of active fires. Satellite analysts examine automatically derived hotspots and perform a quality control procedure, removing points that are felt to be false detects and adding points that the automated algorithms have not detected through visual analysis. Areas of smoke are depicted with an approximation of density. Fires producing detectable smoke are noted and information is supplied as input to an air quality forecast model run by the NWS. The analysis is 365 days a year around over the contiguous 48 states, Hawaii, Mexico and southern Canada. Seasonal analyses are done over Alaska and the rest of Canada during the active fire season. An initial analysis over the entire domain is performed daily by late afternoon eastern time with subsequent updates throughout the evening as new data arrives. Smoke and Fire Products available at: includes links to: Archived products, automated algorithms, GIS page, HYSPLIT smoke forecasts, near real time imagery and manual quality controlled analysis. Satellite Analysis Branch Smoke and Fire Program The SAB provides quantitative satellite-derived precipitation estimates (SPENES) and satellite trend guidance to the NWS when heavy convective rain threatens to produce flash flooding over the lower 48 states, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. Support is also provided for heavy rain and snow associated with winter storms, and for heavy lake effect snow. In addition to the quantitative satellite precipitation estimates, the SPENES message includes a discussion of satellite analysis and trends. Precipitation Products available at: · Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS). SPENES is the AWIPS ID, and the WMO header for this message is TXUS20 KNES. · Internet A graphical depiction of estimated 24 hour rainfall totals derived from microwave rainfall rates, the Ensemble Tropical Rainfall Potential (eTRaP), is generated for all tropical cyclones across the globe. eTRaPs are generated and disseminated automatically for all numbered/named tropical cyclones. Customers are notified via when an eTRaP has been posted for their area of responsibility. eTRaP Products are available at: Satellite Analysis Branch Precipitation Program Satellite Analysis Branch Tropical Program The SAB derives the position and intensity of tropical disturbances around the world using the internationally recognized Dvorak technique and cutting edge technologies provided by various research groups. Position and intensity estimates are derived every six hours. They are disseminated electronically via FTP (ftp://ftp.tpc.ncep.noaa.gov/atcf) through the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast to the Tropical Prediction Center, via the Satellite Services Division (SSD) Home Page to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) and via text bulletins to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers in the Eastern and Southern Hemispheres. Tropical Products available at: Satellite Analysis Branch Volcanic Ash Program A Global volcanic ash monitoring program at SAB began in the 1970’s and became official in The Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (W- VAAC) was established in 1997 in agreement with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Volcanic Ash Products Volcanic Ash Advisories (VAA) - containing eruption information, ash location, height, velocity and forecast. Volcanic Ash Graphic (VAG) - a graphic depiction of ash over an 18 hour period showing extent, movement and size. Volcanic Ash Forecast Transport and Dispersion model showing ash over 48 hours period. Dissemination of Volcanic Ash Products Available to the aviation community under headers FVXX KNES via variety of communication systems including Satellite Broadcast (e.g. WAFS, SADIS) and Global Telecommunications (GTS).
