This week marks the start of GOES-R Demonstrations in the Hazardous Weather Testbed during the 2015 Spring Experiment in Norman, OK. The experiment will run the weeks of May 4, May 11, May 18, June 1, June 8 and consist of 5 NWS forecasters and 1 broadcast meteorologist per week. Each week, Monday will primarily serve as a spin-up day, Tues-Thurs will be our core days of activities, while Friday's half day will not consist of any forecast activities. GOES-R products under evaluation this year include: GOES Sounder TPW, LPW, and Derived Atmospheric Stability Indices using GOES-R ABI Legacy Atmospheric Profile (LAP) algorithm, GOES-R Convective Initiation, ProbSevere Model, PGLM Total Lightning, Lightning Jump Algorithm, and GOES-14 Super Rapid Scan Operations for GOES-R (SRSOR) 1-min Imagery. The automated Overshooting Top Detection product will be demonstrated with the 1-min imagery. Additionally, NUCAPS soundings from the Suomi NPP satellite will be evaluated.
