Project Summary
2
The opportunity to receive experimental satellite products from NASA SPoRT was first offered in 2007 with the goal of SPoRT “to transition research capabilities to operations to improve short-term forecasts”
Several months later, in January 2008, ingest of these products began
The list of products to be distributed was compiled based on local forecast challenges
The operational use of the SPoRT transitioned products has enhanced the decision making process by supplementing data void areas and enhancing our current satellite analysis techniques

17 April 2011 – tire blow out starts a large fire in eastern New Mexico
One week later, the burn scar is visible on 1km MODIS IR
Strong winds on 26 April 2011 show the burn scar as a source of blowing dust, reducing visibilities to 1-3 miles

15 April 2011 – dry north winds and unstable air result in dust plumes in West Texas, visible on 1 km color composite
At 1732Z, GOES image depicts the hot spots and dust
AT 1745Z, GOES-R ABQ proxy shows sharper edges on dust plumes, clearer hot spots, and a clearer CO cloud field.

Project Summary
21
The operational use of the SPoRT transitioned products has enhanced the decision making process by supplementing data void areas and enhancing our current satellite analysis techniques
We look forward to testing additional products, including the GLM (Geostationary Lightning Mapper). Due to our limited radar coverage, the application of GLM total lightning data may improve our warning times even more so than at a typical central or eastern WFO.
