Outline – 6 January 2014 SPoRT Status Report: RGB Imagery RGB Evaluation for Aviation and Cloud Analysis (NTmicro, DNB products) Alaska, Southern and Western Region WFOs User Feedback Training module for Alaska users AWG Support Assessment reports in progress and to start JPSS Collaborations and data processing with UAF/GINA VSP with Pacific Region AWIPS II AWIPS II software teletraining (EPDT) Future workshops/code sprints Total Lightning CO LMA SPC Collaborations 2014 Evaluation planning

RGB Evaluation for Aviation and Cloud Analysis Assessment RGB Products – Nighttime Microphysics – VIIRS Day-Night Band RGB Radiance and Reflectance – Comparing to SPoRT Hybrid and other products AK WFOs: Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, (AAWU: tentatively) WR WFOs: Medford, Eureka SR WFOs: 6 coastal WFOs Feedback started early December – AK/WR: 22 user feedback forms – SR coastal: 6 user feedback forms and some blog posts – SR coastal: Will end after Jan. MODIS NTmicro RGB – 1/1/2014 at 0545UTC Low Clouds Fog High Clouds

RGB Imagery Assessment: AK/WR User Feedback 1/1/14 – The RGB nighttime microphysics imagery show low clouds/fog underneath thin layers of high clouds, which is something we haven't been able to see with traditional fog imagery products. It's a great tool for situational awareness and knowing where low clouds/fog are offshore. 12/29/13 – Tonight, was able to discern the low clouds from the fog using the RGB imagery. This also allowed me to narrow my area for the dense fog advisory for this morning. 12/28/13 – Helped with the issuance of dense fog advisory. 12/26/13 – The night time micro RGB was by far the easiest to analyze. It's a huge improvement over the legacy products.

RGB Imagery Assessment: SR Coastal User Feedback 12/25/13 – I was able to use the VIIRS Nighttime microphysics 12/ UTC image to see the low strato cu cloud cover that was developing on the edge and under mid/high level clouds. It gave me confidnce on the 9Z taf update to increase the 4 kft cloud cover in the HOU and IAH TAFS. 12/10/13 – Still getting used to the RGB Day/Night microphysics and Reflectance/Radiance products. There is a considerable amount of detail present with respect to cloud thickness, cloud top temperature. Still having some trouble seeing the difference between stratus and fog. 12/11/13 – I find little, if any utility in a product that is so rarely available. In fact, there are times that we don't get a new image on my entire shift. (processing issue) 11/27/13 – Wish the RGB Nighttime, Radiance and Reflectance imagery were available from a geostationary satellite. Still, the limited data provided excellent spatial coverage.

RGB Training Module for AK users AK-centric examples – Similar to SR micro- lesson on same topic MODIS and VIIRS case in McCarthy, AK Nighttime Microphysics and Day-Night Band 15 minutes of audio User interaction to identify features in RGBs Reviewed by Eric Stevens of GINA

Assessment Reports In progress – Quantitative Precipitation Estimate (QPE) with AK and San Juan Has been reviewed by users, developers and internally Second version is being edited – VIIRS Front Range Night-time Applications First draft has been reviewed and edits being made – GOES-R Convective Initiation Summary being written of testbed user experiences with new version Starting – RGB Imagery for Aviation and Cloud Analysis with Southern Region Inland WFOs

AMS Activities Related to Sat. Proving Ground ~8 Presentations and ~3 Posters topics: AWIPS II, Lightning Tracking Tool Total Lightning case study: Moore OK Supercell Hybrid in AK as proxy to ABI RGB Dust – new capability RGBs compared to Hyperspectral IR retrievals Assimilation of Hyperspectral IR retrievals into WRF Transition of AIRS Ozone to Operations VIIRS Front Range Nighttime Imagery Assessment Assessment Methodology and Experiences

JPSS PG / OCONUS – VIIRS included in Assessment of RGB imagery suite Nighttime Microphysics, Day-Night-Band RGBs very popular w/ users – Satellite Liaison meeting held at SPoRT Nov All liaisons in attendance Established bi-monthly coordination call Set SPoRT focal point for each liaison – Hawaii VSP proposal funded Planning w/ Bill Ward has begun for data access and potential local processing in future – Processing on GINA Virtual Machines Hardware causing some processing latency SPoRT RGBs & Hybrids via LDM from GINA to WFOs Ongoing telecons with GINA and AK WFOs

AWIPS II Experimental Products Development Team Teletraining sessions on bi-weekly basis continue (topics: data access framework, review of subgroup projects) Future: -Spring2014: March/April/May (?) Huntsville, AL Group A (same attendees): Advanced training Group B (new attendees): Basic training -Fall2014: Code Sprint
