In Session 101, Ed Mandel and Mike Johnson outlined plans to integrate plug-ins into AWIPS II, aiming for a baseline completion in as little as six weeks. Dan Nietfeld shared insights from field participation in AWIPS II applications. The value of high-resolution satellite environmental soundings remains largely unquantified. Matt Smith summarized outcomes from the EPDT workshop and recent SPoRT activities. Jordan Gerth highlighted AWIPS II developments at CIMSS, focusing on RGB capabilities. Curtis Seaman and Deb Molenar discussed RGB products for meteorology and collaboration with NWS forecast offices.

Session 101 – AWIPS/RGB Summary • Ed Mandel and Mike Johnson discussed plans for developing and implementing plug-ins into the AWIPS II baseline • Time to baseline could take as little as six weeks • Dan Nietfeld provided a perspective from the field on AWIPS II and discussed his current and foreseen participation in proving ground activities • Value of satellite-based, high vertical resolution environmental soundings to operations still largely unknown • Matt Smith gave an overview of the EPDT workshop, including results from a brainstorming session, and then summarized recent AWIPS II activities at SPoRT • Jordan Gerth shared AWIPS II development activities at CIMSS and discussed the RGB capabilities of the software • Curtis Seaman and Deb Molenar discussed RGB products for solving meteorological problems, and explained recent interactions between CIRA and NWS forecast offices Moderators: Jordan Gerth and Dan Nietfeld
Session 101 – AWIPS/RGB Attention Required Questions for Discussion • Demonstration procedures and logistics for operational AWIPS II sites • Data delivery strategy for GOES-R information into AWIPS II • Broader access to AWIPS II training resources/workshops • Diversified training to meet the needs of NWS participants, NOAA partners, and liaisons • Closer interactions on disseminating VIIRS imagery • How should we focus our AWIPS II priorities? • What is the end point for proving ground activities in terms of transitioning from experimental to operational? • What are the specific advantages of RGBs over individual bands? • Do RGB composites supplement or supplant AWG products? Can quantitative and qualitative products co-exist? Moderators: Jordan Gerth and Dan Nietfeld
