VIIRS Channels
• SPoRT coordinating VIIRS transition with partners
• All partners using the hybrid have access
• Albuquerque, Huntsville, Morristown, and Raleigh first to investigate RGBs

Day-Night Band on July 5 at 0740 UTC
Lightning and National Centers• Follow-up activities from
visiting scientist trips• Preparing Pseudo-GLM
for ops introduction• Great coordination with
Aviation Weather Center and Storm Prediction Center GOES-R Champions

PGLM Evaluation at WFOs• Preparing lightning
safety evaluation (spring)
• Collaboration• WFO Morristown, TN• Chattanooga EMA
• EMA will use Google Earth display
• WFO Melbourne coordinating 2nd project
PGLM centered on Chattanooga, TN

Night-time Microphysics RGB Evaluation
• To occur Fall 2012 (Sept/Oct)
• Focus: Fog vs. Low Clouds• RGBs from MODIS and
VIIRS• Include VIIRS Day-Night-
Band to evaluate• Compare to 11-3.9µm
difference imagery• WFOs: HUN, BMX, OHX,
MRX, RAH• Products available via
web and user’s DSS
VIIRS Day-Night Band

NESDIS QPE Product Transition• Collaborating with Bob Kuligowski• Have started planning training
materials• Data and install instructions
successfully implemented at Alaska RFC
• Alaska WFOs working to setup in AWIPS I
• Pacific Region working with local WFO to implement.
• OCONUS Evaluation of product being planned for Fall/Winter 2012/13
• Evaluation may include W. Coast WFOs for focus on atmospheric rivers.
• Future: Provide to National Centers via AREA files
Alaska
Pacific
CONUS

UAH CI V2.2• New Strength of Signal display
– Evaluated at HWT 2012, AWC 2012 Summer Experiment, and during 2012 summer convection by partner NWS-WFOs (MFL, MLB, HUN, ABQ) in operational setting
• WFOs submitted 31 evaluations from 12 different users and corresponded via email and NWS Chat
– Evaluations led to improvements in training, a small “bug” fix, and upgrades to NAWIPS display.

OCONUS Activities• QPE Transition to AK/Pac.
– See previous slide
• Hybrid Sample Data Sets– Providing small data set for
testing in Alaska and Pacific Regions
– Mostly single channel imagery– To include MODIS and VIIRS
• RGB Imagery (MODIS/VIIRS)– Currently developing product
suite– Domains: Alaska, Hawaii, W.
Atlantic– National Centers interested in
RGBs over W. Atlantic– Using UAF/GINA, SSEC and
NASA/LANCE to acquire data. – Future: VIIRS/MODIS via
Hawaii DB
