3 NESDIS Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) Operates the Nation s 19 environmental satellites: 4 Geostationary (GOES-13, -14, -15, -16) by NOAA 3 Polar-Orbiting (NOAA-15, -18, -19) by NOAA 1 Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) by NOAA & NASA 1 JPSS-1 (NOAA-20) by NOAA & NASA 6 Defense Meteorological Satellite program (DMSP) operated by NOAA 2 OSTM Jason-2 & Jason-3 (Ocean Surface Topography Mission) - Joint NOAA, NASA, CNES, EUMETSAT effort 1 DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) by NOAA 1 COSMIC-1 (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate) *JPSS-1, known and NOAA-20 in orbit was successfully launched on November 18, *COSMIC-2A spacecraft and ground segments nearing completion in support of planned 2018 launch. 3

4 GOES-R Series Next generation of NOAA/NASA geo weather satellites R-Series includes 4 satellites (16, S, T, U) First launched in Nov 2016 Represents first major upgrade in over 20 years Earth-pointing instruments Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) 3x more spectral bands 4x spatial resolution 5x temporal coverage Space weather and solar imaging instruments Space Environment in-situ Suite (SEISS) Magnetometer Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensor (EXIS) 4

9 What GVAR Users Need to Know GOES-16 GRB has replaced GOES-13 GVAR and GOES-16 is at 75.2⁰ W. GOES-17 GRB will replace GOES-15 GVAR and GOES-17 will be at 137⁰ W. A GRB-compatible receiver is required. The GRB frequency is MHz and dual circular polarized signals are used. GVAR users might be able to repurpose their GVAR antenna. GRB requires a processing system that can handle the new data volumes and software that can display the products The Community Satellite Processing Package for Geostationary Data (CSPP Geo) software is available from the University of Wisconsin Madison A manufacturers list is available at: Alternatives for GOES East for users without GRB include GNC-A and the GOES-East Image Viewer. HRIT/EMWIN is available as well 9

19 User Readiness and Training NOAA hosted 1 workshop and provided trainers and organizational support to 3 other workshops this past year for the international community: Two-day train the trainer workshop at the NOAA Satellite Conference on Satellite Data Usage: Access through GEONETCast Americas, Display, Interpretation, and Usage in Training ; July 2017 in New York City AmeriGEOSS "Training on Satellite Data: Access through GEONETCast Americas, Display, Interpretation, and Usage" occurring on 31 July - 4 August 2017 in San José, Costa Rica GOES-16 Workshop at Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) occurring November 2017 in Buenos Aires, Argentina GOES-16 Workshop at Dirección Meteorológica de Chile (DMC) / Chile Weather Service main office, occurring 27 November to 1 December 2017 in Santiago de Chile, Chile 19

20 User Readiness and Training (cont.) NOAA continues to support training development and translation efforts at COMET, training at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/ Weather Prediction Center (WPC) / International Desks, and the Regional Focus Group (RFG) Monthly Weather and Climate Virtual Discussions NOAA has also created a GOES International Training Working Group (GITWG) to assess, coordinate, and plan for training activities in response to increasing user requests. Because of the newness of the satellite capabilities, continued training activities targeted at different levels of users (intern, advanced, expert) are ongoing 20
