1 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Product Training Science Advisory Committee February 28 – March 1, 2012 National Space Science and Technology Center, Huntsville, AL

2 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Relevance to NASA/SPoRT The “T” in SPoRT does not stand for “training” so why do it? Key part of supporting the transition of products – Provide information on products to be tested and evaluated – Communicate to wider audience the lessons learned from initial testing – Demonstrate utility and application to a forecast issue Bottom line: These are adult learners who mainly want to know how to apply the product in the workplace. What is an RGB composite?

3 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Accomplishments since 2009 SAC (1 of 2) Recommendation Suggestion: When feasible, suggest advocates play a bigger role in training development. Some SOOs may even be willing to produce the first draft of a training segment. Actions by SPoRT ABQ advocate examples included in Hybrid training HUN SOO and others providing content to total lightning applications module SOO peer to peer sharing during monthly coordination calls MLB and MFL providing feedback to CI product

4 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Accomplishments since 2009 SAC (2 of 2) Recommendation SPoRT should ensure (through training or other means) users of the blended product understand how to interpret the blended product and the difference between loading the mixed product versus a GOES- only product in the AWIPS menus. Actions by SPoRT Other means: Demo during WFO visits & calls Blog posts by SPoRT as well as WFO advocates

5 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Training Approach / Methodology Self-paced modules (via Articulate Presenter) – Appeals to multiple learning styles Quick Reference Guides – “Just in time training” concept – Basics to get started Teletraining and Site Visits – Answer questions – Hands-on use of data SPoRT workshops / coordination calls – Gets end users involved – Science sharing by end users Geoffrey Stano presenting in operations area of Albuquerque, WFO regarding total lightning and relevant NASA EOS data sets

6 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Self-paced Modules Full-fledged training modules – More than a “quick start” – Audio, Animation, Interaction – Provide examples (often from users!) Available on NOAA’s Learning Management System – Forecasters earn credit Emphasis on short, direct training – Aim for 10-20 minutes Let’s listen in for a moment – Link to Hybrid module launcher Link to Hybrid module launcher Hybrid Total Lightning I & II Pseudo-GLM

7 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Designed for “on the fly” use – Gives the basics Layout can vary – Presentation or guide book style – Both have quick examples Usually no added audio Form the core for a full module Lightning Forecast Algorithm – Use model microphysics for better lightning parameterization – Guidance to characterize WRF lightning threat Land Information System – Describe output fields – Use as diagnostic tool to highlight relation with convective initiation Quick Reference Guides LIS Soil Moisture 0-10cm LIS Guide for BMX CI Project

8 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Teletraining Used for Convective Initiation via University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) Part of SPoRT PG work to help GOES-R AWGs transition products to users Mature PPT by UAH UAH teletraining at monthly call with WFOs, and had Q&A WFOs requested a second session and it was recorded and posted to web In prep for testbed by HUN, MLB, MFL and to get user feedback and interest before next spring evaluation Also, see Coordination Call topics Playback of recorded teletraining via Windows Media Player. 17 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes of discussion/questions with forecasters.

9 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations WFO Coordination Calls and Visits Coordination Calls Often topic specific – LIS, enhanced SST composite, CIRA B-TPW (by experts), Hybrid, P-GLM, new total lightning products, RGB imagery, UAH CI WFOs share application of data Visits Tailored training to forecast staff for their forecast interests Meet advocates and have more detailed discussions about products Over a dozen visits since 2009 SAC Science and Operations Officer Jeff Medlin at NWS Mobile shows model output from the local WRF EMS, initialized with NASA LIS data.

10 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Visits by SPoRT 2010-2012 Collaborating WFO Partner Regional HQ Real-Time Data Source ERHQ (8/10) CRHQ & AWC (9/10) SOO Workshop (2/11) ARHQ, RFC, AAWC, and WFOs (9/10) PRHQ (7/10) JAN, LIX, MOB, LMRFC (8/11) HWT (May of 10 and 11) NHC (4/11) MOB (5/10) BMX (6/11) RAH (1/12) SAB (6/11) TFX (7/10) MFL (4/11) Partner visits Expansion visits

11 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations Training Interactions with NOAA NOAA Learning Management System – SPoRT modules can be taken via LMS for credit – Work with NWS/OCWWS/FDTB to fulfill LMS requirements, such as a quiz COMET Environmental Satellite Resource Center – Globally searched resource NWP by COMET – Mesoscale dataset impacts to local modeling (ongoing) Future: – Collaborate with Operational Proving Ground (NWSTC) to test new tools and techniques (e.g. Lightning trend tool in AWIPS II) related to GOES-R NOAA LMS Total Lightning Pseudo-GLM SPoRT Program

12 transitioning unique NASA data and research technologies to operations FfFf Ongoing & Near Future Work WindSat Creating web module with current data and comparisons to past SeaWinds from QuikSCAT Prepare Western and AK Region users for an evaluation period Total Lightning New products and tools based on WFO testbed evaluations – Application of Max Density – AWIPS II cell tracking tool LIS and LFA Full web module with audio based on initial Quick Guide VIIRS New capabilities (e.g. Day/Night band) Both atmos. and ocean product applications (compliments other training) RGB Imagery For WFOs as well as Nat. Centers – Air mass, NT Micro., Dust, etc. Collaboration w NHC, HPC, OPC, SAB
