Week 1 complete!

Week 1 (of 4) of the Hazardous Weather Testbed 2016 GOES-R/JPSS Spring Experiment is now complete! Although there were no widespread severe weather outbreaks this week, the marginal events provided just enough to keep our participants busy. The week 1 participants provided plenty of useful feedback on all of the products demonstrated, much of which can be found here on the blog. Below are a few photos from the week.
