2 Aviation Weather Aviation Weather Center (Kansas City) –Convective Initiation and Nearcasting (Dec-Jan) –Volcanic Ash: Detection and Height; SO2 Detection (Jan-Feb) –Aircraft Icing Threat (Feb-Mar) –Low Cloud and Fog (Mar-Apr) –WRF Lightning Threat (Apr-May) AK Aviation Weather Unit (Anchorage) –Volcanic Ash: Detection and Height (Dec) –SO2 Detection (Dec) –Low Cloud and Fog (Dec) –Cloud Top Height (Dec) –Convective Initiation (Dec) NWS Regions –In discussions with Scott Birch to bring in Aviation related products to WR WFOs and CWSUs. WFO Monterey and CWSU Oakland have expressed interest in participating in PG demonstration. Will expand to other regions after we develop a good “model” with WR. →NCEP GEMPAK/Unidata GEMPAK decoder hindering data display →Additional personnel added to support AWC Testbed →PG data is available throughout the Alaska Region via NWS LDM and available in AWIPS in Fairbanks WFO and Alaska AWU

4 Space Weather Focus:Space Weather Dates: May 2011 – Apr 2013 Products:Solar Thematic Maps POCs: University of Colorado Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) and SWPC Status: Proposal Phase Note: The list of Space Weather products in Appendix 1, for legacy and funding reasons, refers to Level-1B products, not Level-2 products. The Space Weather proposal applies to space weather level-2 products under development within the GOES-R Risk Reduction project.
