STAR and GOES-R

This presentation by Timothy J. Schmit outlines how GOES-R supports NOAA's mission goals, benefiting the National Weather Service, aviation, air quality, defense, and international users. It covers the planning and current activities of GOES-R, including advanced soundings and product development. STAR's significant involvement in GOES-R activities, such as ABI band selection and modification, reflects the program's success. The presentation includes the GOES-R Proving Ground, which engages NWS and other offices in pre-operational demonstrations. The recent 6th GOES Users' Conference in 2009 showcased the achievements and contributions of geostationary systems. STAR will continue to play a key role in future GOES-R initiatives.

  4. Outline • Advanced Planning ABI band selection TRD, Performance and Operational Requirements Document AOLTAP, etc. • Current activities GOES-RRR AWG/Calibration WG Proving Ground Possible wavier requests Education/Training SME/COMET/VISITview presentations/papers • Future Continue current activities Capitalization plan Advanced soundings Day 2 products (blended products, etc.)

  5. Advanced Planning • STAR was very involved during the early GOES-R development. This includes: formulation studies, ABI band selection and modification, Technical Requirement Documents, Performance and Operational Requirements Document, etc. ABI documents from 1999 when ABI was only 8 spectral bands, now it is 16. ABI TRD. circa 1999

  18. Successful 6th GOES Users' Conference held 3-5 November 2009 Monona Terrace Convention Center Madison, Wisconsin • The 6th Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Users' Conference (GUC) was held in Madison, Wisconsin, November 3-5, 2009. All the conference objectives were achieved. • The conference focus was the current, near-term, and future geostationary systems. There were over 260 participants from government, private industry, academia, and the international community, including representatives from EUropean organization for the exploitation of METeorological SATellites (EUMETSAT), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), China, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil, and Canada. The conference consisted of oral presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, and a town hall meeting. • STAR supported the 6th GUC in many ways.

  19. Future Activities • STAR is will be involved in future GOES-R series activities, including, continue current activities, capitalization plan(s), advanced geo soundings (possible commercial data-buy option), Day 2 products, calibration, validation, conferences, publications, outreach, training, etc. (under construction)
