Aviation Weather Center Proving ground Update

The AWC Summer Experiment 2012 provided critical insights into the implementation of GOES-R products. With dedicated GOES-R desks, forecasters engaged in training sessions and developed workflows to enhance daily weather operations. Participants included forecasters and FAA representatives who provided valuable feedback during the program. Key features showcased included simulated satellite imagery, lightning threat models, and low cloud and fog monitoring. The feedback highlighted successes and areas for improvement, paving the way for future research and operational transitions in weather forecasting.

  1. Aviation Weather Center Proving ground Update Amanda Terborg AWC GOES-R liaison July 9th, 2012

  2. AWC Summer Experiment 2012: Recap... Dedicated GOES-R desk! • Daily workflow: • ~30 – 40 min training presentation • Morning wx outlook • Afternoon wx watch • Participants: • Week 1: ~1 forecaster, ~1 FAA/other • Week 2: ~2 forecasters, ~1 FAA/other • Feeback: • Survey questions: lots of good comments… but too many questions • Verbal: discussion between the GOES-R desk, as well as collaboration with other desks • GOES-R blog!

  3. AWC Summer Experiment 2012: Recap... Products displayed: • ABI simulated/synthetic satellite imagery • Bands 8-16 (specifically 8,9,10, and 14) • NearCasting Model • WRF/HRRR Lightning Threat • Threat 1, 2, and specifically 3 • UWCI Cloud Top Cooling • UAH SATCAST • Enhanced-V/Overshooting Top • Mainly OT detection • Pseudo Geostationary Lightning Mapper (PGLM) • Low Cloud and Fog • IFR/LIFR probabilities were the main focus • Cloud phase and cloud thickness/depth were secondary

  4. Research to Operations effort • Low Cloud and Fog: • Transition in operations complete! • Training materials/sessions are currently in the works • Volcanic Ash • Only AK domain will be ingested into the AWC • N-AWIPS vs. AWIPS-II • End of the summer? • Aircraft Icing Threat • Funding issue… • This will still be ingested into the AWC for evaluation purposes • Also will be in the AWC winter experiment (tentatively scheduled for February 2013)
