NWS Field Perspective of the GOES-R Proving Ground Jeff Craven, Marcia Cronce, and Steve Davis NOAA/NWS Milwaukee-Sullivan WI 7 th GOES Users’ Conference (GUC) Oct 20 th 2011

2010 CIMSS MKX GOES-R Proving Ground May to August CIMSS GRPG shifts scheduled (6-8 hours) One-on-one forecaster and developer CIMSS developers traveled to MKX (45 miles)

2010 CIMSS MKX GOES-R Proving Ground Analyzed: Convective Initiation, Convective Cloud Top Cooling Rate, and Differential Theta-e Nearcast products Completed formal feedback surveys

Joint CIMSS MKX poster at NWA 2010

GOES-R ABI WES Marcia Cronce (MKX) worked with CIMSS/ASPB in developing a GOES-R ABI WES (Weather Event Simulator), which used simulated images to showcase possible uses of each band.

2011 CIMSS MKX GOES-R Proving Ground August to October 2011 Emphasis was on GOES-R AWG low cloud product and Synthetic GOES-R imagery Developers trained on how the products are derived and how they should be used Products viewed on AWIPS and on-line Forecaster feedback: blog entries

GOES-R – Why are forecasters excited? Think of having MODIS images every 5 minutes! Spatial: 500 meter resolution visible Spatial: 2 km resolution water vapor Temporal: 5 minute routine, 1 minute meso sector GLM available ~ 1 min!

GOES-R – Why are forecasters excited? Ability to sync satellite, radar, lightning, profiler, and ASOS/mesonet observations every 5 minutes Potential to change analysis standard (RTMA) from hourly to 5 minute by 2020? (Draft of NWS S&T Roadmap)

Bottom Line We want the highest spatial resolution We want the fastest temporal resolution We want the smallest lag time Bandwidth is always a challenge If you can’t ship the whole image, send a high resolution clip. We’d prefer that the native resolution is preserved

Proving Ground thoughts In general, the raw products are preferred over derived products One exception is the fog product, which is still at rather high resolution Preference for items that have quantitative properties, rather than “yes/no” (ie Cloud Top Cooling Rate versus Convective Initiation Likely)

Examples of products and use Sometimes the developers (and SOO) are surprised at: What will be popular? How we might use a product?

The GOES-R Proving Ground Blog CIMSS/MKX GRPG Blog entries are made in the HWT PG Blog but are easily found using Blog Archive search menu function This feedback appears to be much more popular for the forecaster and easier to use for the developers

The GOES-R Proving Ground Blog

Forecaster comments 2011 Synthetic Forecast GOES-R Imagery “It would…be useful if the fog product could be simulated into the future (using the ABI simulated bands)” “The simulated water vapor imagery serves as a proxy for identifying and tracking the evolution of upper level jets without having to rely solely on model data.”

Forecaster comments 2011 GOES-R probability of MVFR and IFR products “…it appears to me that not enough influence is given to the current observations (METAR cloud heights). This is a great product and has lots of potential for the operational environment.” “I suspect the holes forming in the overcast …were responsible for the more optimistic probabilities. …I don't believe these holes are near big enough to bring scattered or better than MVFR conditions… All of the surface obs across the area are bkn-ovc between 10kft-22kft. “

Forecaster comments 2011 Theta-e difference Nearcast “The NearCast … of Theta-e differences …shows a region of stronger stability over the MKX WFO -- suggesting that any convection will struggle to develop. …suggests the convection over Dane County will not persist. …no lightning occurred. ” “If a general convective initiation time is known, this (Theta-e Nearcast) gradient forecast could be useful in locating the areas where storms will fire.”

Final Remarks These researcher/forecaster interactions are critical to best understand how and when to use a given product Adjustments to current products and development of new products have already resulted from these valuable interactions This iterative process works well with a continuous process of improvement on the GOES-R product suite
