UW-CIMSS real-time simulated/observed satellite verification

Scott Lindstrom and Justin Sieglaff from UW-CIMSS have developed a website for use in this year's GOES-R Proving Ground Spring Experiment to compare the simulated satellite imagery produced from the NSSL-WRF and the observed GOES-13 imagery in real-time. The website provides us with a quick comparison between the model's expected convective development and what is occurring in actuality. This helps us greatly in determining the model's performance on the fly for that day's 00Z run. This site has been and will continue to be used in forecaster briefings in the EFP and EWP to help us decide where convection will develop during the day.
