OCONUS Activities Science Advisory Committee Meeting 26 – 28 August, 2014 National Space Science and Technology Center, Huntsville, AL 1

SPoRT OCONUS Background 2009 SAC recommended “careful expansion” beyond Southern Region. Later, PG asked for more OCONUS applications. – Alaska & Pacific Regions, Puerto Rico involved in QPE, Hybrid and some RGBs Early work in AK involved transition of SPoRT SST Composite – “Ice Desk” decreased prep time of their own product by ~60% – Lead in to ABI-type products (Hybrid, QPE, RGB) and JPSS/S-NPP products (DNB) Visits to AK/HI – OCONUS PG meeting in 2010, 2011, 2013, JPSS Meeting 2012 – SPoRT staff visited all AK WFOs and RFC in 2013 in prep for QPE and Aviation RGB Assessments and to meet with University of Alaska Fairbanks/GINA staff – Prepared Virtual Machine plan – Provided AK forecasters with info on GOES-R/JPSS and specific product training – VSP 2014 to Pacific Region has established plan for QPE Assessment & other work 2

AK Transition and Assessment QPE – Already described by A. LeRoy Hybrid GEO/LEO Imagery – ABI capability, S-NPP utility – “Very popular” NtMicro. RGB for Aviation and Cloud Analysis – Very new to most users – Dec ~15 Feb 2014 – Nighttime Microphysics and Day- Night Band RGBs – Compare to traditional GOES µ difference, – Focus on identification of fog Loop of the SPoRT GEO/LEO Hybrid um imagery that includes MODIS and VIIRS data from 1030Z to 1345Z on 15 Nov

Feedback Results - Impact Assessment Results -NtMicro Between the 3 products, the NtMicro RGB was the preferred product by far (~80%) 72% indicated NtMicro RGB as primary product for fog/low clouds Impact on Aviation (general): 82% said some to very large Impact to distinguish fog from low clouds: 85% said some to very large 4

Feedback Results - Impact Assessment Results – Day-Night Band Included with NtMicro submissions Impact on Aviation (general): 64% said some to very large Had multiple uses, but usually was not the preferred product for aviation. 5

User Comments –a few examples Dec 12 (AFC): “As a new user I find it difficult to interpret all of the subtle variations in color in the RGB Nighttime Microphysics Imagery. I do believe with regular practice and experience with the product that this will become a little easier.” (Advocated for a probability product due to individual color interpretation differences) Dec 17 (AFC): “Standard IR was very useful due to surface temps being near -20F, hence using it complementary to the SPoRT imagery.” These very cold temperatures and increased summer daylight limit NtMicro RGB. SPoRT is looking to testbed the EUMETSAT-developed 24-hr Microphysics RGB 6

Recommendations from Assessment Users need more training examples and experience with Nighttime Microphysics and Day-Night Band RGB imagery NtMicro does provide value and other satellites could be used if data were made available – NOAA 18 & 19 POES, MetOp A & B (via AVHRR instrument) Applications/Feedback limited by product frequency (more of an issue for DNB product) Derived DNB products for unique situations (e.g. disasters, smoke, etc.) likely to increase operational use. 7

RGB Imagery – new product for testing 24-hr Microphysics VIIRS swath over AK 12.0µm-10.8µm 10.8µm-8.7µm 10.8µm The green component uses 8.7 instead of 3.7µ channel – Range of green component difference is half of NtMicro RGB so less distinction between low cloud features – Less noisy in cold scenes – Able to use in day compared to NtMicro – Can see features progressing in loops for the N. half of Alaska 8

RGB Imagery – new product for testing Nighttime Microphysics24-hr Microphysics Daytime Nighttime Less variation of cloud features in 24hr Micro 9

SPoRT PG Suite for AK AFC and AFB are among the first WFOs transitioned to AWIPS II Among the first 4 WFOs receiving SPoRT products MODIS/VIIRS RGB Suite ─ MODIS:Dust, NtMicro, True Color, Snow/Cloud, Air Mass ─ VIIRS:Dust, NtMicro, True Color, Snow/Cloud, DNB(Rad), DNB(Refl) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) ─ SST, Latency CIRA Layered Precipitable Water (LPW) – East Pacific to Africa ─ Sfc-850mb, mb, mb, mb, Total NESDIS Quantitative Precipitation Estimate (QPE) ─ 15min, 1hr, 3hr, 6hr, 12hr, 1day, 3day, 7day 10

Collaborations with UAF/GINA Virtual Machines for SPoRT – Processing locally at GINA via Direct Broadcast data accessed onsite – SPoRT Code transferred to GINA VMs Products made via VMs – VIIRS RGBs (MODIS coming new h/w) – GEO/LEO Hybrids w/ MODIS&VIIRS Value of VMs – Reduced latency and file “traffic” Processing issue resolution via SPoRT partnership – Terra de-stripping coefficients (right) Plan to Integrate with CSPP 11

Pacific Region Pacific Region is most recent collaboration Coordinated with region headquarters on visiting scientist proposal – Accepted and first trip occurred 5-9 May 2014 – Discussed collaborations with headquarters and met with forecasters at the co-located WFO Honolulu and Central Pacific Hurricane Center Initial focus – GOES-R Quantitative Precipitation Estimate (QPE) – Sea Surface Temperature Composite – Passive microwave discussed QPE 15 min rain rate (in/hr) QPE 3 day accumulation (in) 12

Initial Visit Corrected AWIPS display SSTs very popular – Used by Central Pacific Hurricane Center on Tropical Storm Wali to forecast intensity QPE is newest activity – Support satellite analysis product – Insight on storm dynamics? – Modify wave forecasts Image courtesy of Robert Ballard – SOO WFO Honolulu GOES IR Radar Reflectivity 1 hr QPE (in) QPE example in AWIPS demonstrating modified color curve to better match radar estimates. 13

Continued Collaborations Assess QPE during wet season Training module Assess QPE with current GOES to – Assess operational uses – Determine updates – Create baseline for comparison to new missions Pacific Region will benefit from Japan’s Himawari – Nearly identical to GOES-R ABI – Test baselined products (like QPE) – WFO Guam likely a key player Himawari Field of View Guam Hawaii 14

SPoRT OCONUS – Future PG Activities Transition of complementary niche products - RGBs, SSTs, Hybrid (including VIIRS), DNB (Reflectance), QPE AWIPS II at 2/3 AK WFOs, AAWU, RFC, PRHQ QPE Transition, Training, Assessment for HFO, Oct/Nov 2014 NESDIS Snowfall Rate Assessment in AK, Oct 2014 (ROSES 2013) Testbed and Assessment of 24hr Microphysics RGB in AK, Winter 14/15 15
