Session 2: Product Development Science Advisory Committee Meeting 26 28 August, 2014 National Space Science and Technology Center, Huntsville, AL
1 Products Team Objectives Mission: Develop experimental products for satellite missions to assess the impact on forecast needs in operations Primary role: Integrate user forecast needs with available SPoRT capabilities Multiple avenues for information: Assessments, site visits, science sharing, etc. Relevance to the SPoRT Paradigm Emphasize SPoRT s expertise with remote sensing Products Group takes feedback from partner interactions and assessments to develop means to address forecast concerns Close interaction with end users and other SPoRT teams
2 Range of Activities SPoRT has a diverse suite of products Remote sensing expertise (satellite, lightning) NASA Missions SPoRT initially began with and continues support of NASA missions Examples: MODIS, North Alabama Lightning, GPM, etc. SPoRT s Expanded Role Recent collaborations have greatly expanded the number of platforms from which data are received Primarily through NOAA Proving Grounds, but also new NASA missions Recognizes SPoRT s expertise in remote sensing applications Activities now incorporate VIIRS, passive microwave, ozone products
3 Product Suite and Collaborations Through interaction with SPoRT Groups, over 3 dozen collaborators Weather Forecast Offices National Centers Center Weather Service Units Spaceflight Meteorology Group Proving Ground (via Hazardous Weather, Aviation, Tropical, and High Latitude Test Beds) Expanding and flourishing in new regions (e.g., Alaska and Pacific) Emphasizing SPoRT s continued efforts to assess solutions to various forecast issues with remote sensing background Numerous individual product suites
4 Product Highlights Not every product will be covered during this session Several highlights of products without formal presentation Reflectance SSTs: Alaska Region VIIRS Day- Night Band Sea Surface Temperature Composite VIIRS Day-Night Band: Reflectance SSTs: Pacific Region SSTs: Southeast City Lights Lightning 0831 UTC
