1 Preparing for NOAA s Next Generation GOES-R & JPSS Mark Paese Deputy Assistant Administrator NOAA Environmental Satellite & Information Service (NESDIS) WMO Cg-17: Ensuring User Readiness for New Generation Meteorological Satellites 27 May 2015, Geneva, Switzerland

2 GOES-R Launching March 2016 GOES-R will provide improved detection and observations of meteorological phenomena that directly impact public safety, protection of property, and economic health and development 2 Visual & IR Imagery Lightning Mapping Space Weather Monitoring Improve hurricane track & intensity forecasts Increase thunderstorm & tornado warning lead time Improve aviation flight route planning Data for long-term climate variability studies Solar Imaging Improve solar flare warnings for communications and navigation disruptions More accurate monitoring of energetic particles responsible for radiation hazards to humans and spacecraft Better monitoring of Coronal Mass Ejections to improve geomagnetic storm forecasting

3 GOES-R Launch GOES-R launches in March 2016 Level 1b products will be validated during Post Launch Test (six months) and will be available through GOES-R Rebroadcast (GRB) service as products are certified Level 2+ product certification begins after L1b products and will be distributed on a product-byproduct basis as they mature GOES-R extended validation: Sept 2016 March 2017 GOES-R operational: March

4 Transition to GOES-R Full Resolution - GVAR to GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) o Faster full disk images o Full set of data o Data from six GOES-R instruments including ABI channels Low Resolution & Text Products - LRIT & EMWIN combine to HRIT/EMWIN o Faster full disk images: between 15 and 30 minutes o Warnings, Watches, Tropical Storm Information New antenna, receiver hardware, and processing system to handle the new data volumes Product Distribution and Access System (PDA) Other Access Options

5 GOES-R via GEONETCast Americas GEONETCast Americas (GNC-A) Expanded GNC-A product suite GOES-R Series Imagery RA III & RA IV Satellite Data Requirements (SDR) Coordination Group

6 Training and User Education Online Training Modules GOES-R GLM: Introduction to the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (COMET) How Satellite Observations Impact NWP (COMET) GOES-R ABI: Next Generation Satellite Imaging (COMET) GOES-R: Benefits of Next-Generation Environmental Monitoring (COMET) Satellite Hydrology and Meteorology for Forecasters (SHyMet) SPoRT product training modules VISIT Training Resources GOES-R: beneficios de la observación ambiental de próxima generación (COMET) Suomi NPP: Una nueva generación de satélites de observación ambiental (COMET) Numerous other training modules in Spanish at (COMET) Printed Materials ABI Bands Quick Information Guides GOES-R Fact Sheets (18) User Readiness Plan GRB Downlink Specifications and Product Users Guide Proving Ground Demonstration Final Reports and Annual Reports

7 JPSS-1 Launching March 2017 Suomi NPP is producing outstanding data JPSS-1 is executing as planned October Vongfong IR JPSS-2 procurement progressing well Polar Follow-On March ice congests Chesapeake Bay Ozone Mapping Profiler Suite Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder Cross-track Infrared Sounder Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite 7 May Tropical Cyclone Mahasen Clouds and Earth s Radiant Energy System

8 Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) CSPP supports: o packaging and distribution of open source science software, and o distribution of free software, and through training in local product applications. 8

9 Satellite Proving Grounds Key Aspects: Satellite liaisons (subject matter experts) at NWS National Centers Develop training for users International Projects Visiting Scientist Program GOES-R Proving Ground 9

10 Partnering with WMO for User Readiness Virtual Laboratory (VLAB) training Satellite User Readiness Navigator (SATURN) World Weather Research Program Area Demonstrations RA-III/RA-IV Satellite Data Requirements Coordination Group

11 2015 NOAA Satellite Conference 619 attendees 73 International participants, 36 countries 40+ presentations, 12 Q&A Sessions, 175 posters, and 37 exhibits

12 Summary GOES-R coming soon launching March 2016 Suomi-NPP instruments performing well New sensors, products, and services will help improve forecasts and increase warning lead times Continued user coordination & preparation.
