Proving Ground Activities with Aviation Weather Center, Storm Prediction Center and NASA SPoRT GLM Science Meeting Huntsville, Alabama 20 September 2012 Geoffrey Stano Amanda Terborg Christopher Siewert

Origin of Collaboration SPoRT has been a PG partner since 2009 Major emphasis with total lightning Collaborating with forecast offices since 2003 Producing the Pseudo GLM (PGLM) Not to be confused with the proxy Developing visualization tools Training (2010 and 2012 update) Available on Learning System Expanding efforts with local WFOs Washington D. C., KSC, and others

Collaborations with National Centers SPoRT’s primary partners are local weather forecast offices PG lightning activities also focus on offices Emphasis on: Warning operations Individual storms Localized issues These are different needs from National Centers Drove visiting scientist proposal AWC Domain (Partial) SPC Domain

Visiting Scientist Proposal Objectives Science sharing presentations Learn AWC / SPC operations  Forecaster shadowing Discuss plan to demonstrate total lightning to forecasters Discuss plan to incorporate total lightning in operations Aviation Weather Center  April Storm Prediction Center  March Accomplishments PGLM available in N-AWIPS at AWC and SPC PGLM used in AWC’s Summer Experiment Training about GOES-R and the GLM Excellent information exchange Discussed limited availability of LMAs versus AWC/SPC operations

Summer Experiment 4-15 June 2012 Multiple participants AWC, CWSUs, NWS forecasters, airline operators, FAA, AFWA, and researchers Emphasis Traffic flow management Aviation Weather Statement Desk to evaluate GOES-R products  PGLM was a late addition  Required a format change

PGLM in N-AWIPS

Summer Experiment Summer Experiment Results Several network outages from all networks LDM connection issue Still, generated much interest Forecasters want to see more Interested in applications Discussions for more training

Summer Experiment - Example 1707 UTC 14 June 2012 Convection north of Orlando CGs with storms Outbound flights flying the gap

Summer Experiment - Example 1708 UTC 14 June 2012 PGLM shows ~7 flashes in path! Partly artifact of grid, but… Shows value of spatial extent!

Other Forecaster Proposed Uses Total lightning confirms convection particularly in remote regions Aid with flight diversions Monitor status of the cap breaking Modify mesoscale discussions Expire or re-issue Modify convective forecasts Interest over tropical regions (once GLM launched) Nighttime decay and morning initiation scenarios

Expanding Partnerships Dugway Langmuir Laboratory White Sands West Texas Oklahoma Houston North Alabama Atlanta Kennedy Space Center Washington D.C. Wallops Island Colorado Front Range St. Louis Full access Collaboration In discussions No contact

Upcoming Activities Include other networks Transition PGLM to operations Coordinating with GOES-R champions on National Center specific lightning training SPoRT improving data processing Determine if time stamp method needs to change 1810 NLDN covers 18:09:01- 18:10: PGLM covers 18:10:00- 18:11:59 Expand product suite Flash Initiation / Max Flash Density Include network status Flash Initiation Density Real-time Network Status

AWIPS II Looking forward to the national perspective Update existing plug-ins Trend tool, IC-CG comparison
