NSSL-WRF simulated GOES-R products

GOES-R visiting scientists discussed with NSSL scientist Jack Kain about the possibility of creating NSSL-WRF simulated GOES-R convective initiation products. Since the model has very short time-steps (24 seconds), following cloud 'objects' via the SATCAST overlap method should be relatively simple. From this, a cloud top-cooling rate and other CI fields, such as cloud-top glaciation, would be easy to produce. Hopefully in the future we may be able to start producing this and other unique GOES-R products that we can not currently produce from observational sensors.
