1. Severe Weather Applications with GOES-R: What will severe weather look like through the “eyes” of GOES-R? Dan Lindsey NOAA/NESDIS/STAR/RAMMB Fort Collins, CO

2. ABI Improvements 1.Better Temporal Resolution Routine 5-minute imagery 30-second imagery for RSO 2.Better Spatial Resolution 500-m visible channel 2-km IR channels 3.Better Spectral Resolution From 5 to 16 bands Greatly increases the number of possible products

5. Current Research Use improved spectral resolution to study microphysical nature of thunderstorms

6. Summary GOES-R and NPOESS provide some exciting areas for Severe Weather Research With current POES data and numerical modeling, we can develop severe weather forecasting/nowcasting products which will be ready when GOES-R is launched
