- · GOES-16 ABI Imagery and products
o
Fire products were useful, good for doing DSS,
more effective for messaging and briefing
o
Help sheets are good, really key
o
RGBs will like be even more useful for general,
daily forecasting
o
Saw -66 to -77 values in the 1 minute IR
imagery, unreal
o
1 minute imagery was also useful to see areas
where they was a lack of convergence, knew the development wasn’t going to
continue along the boundary, good to see relative to the major areas of population
- · GLM
o
Using every day, love it. Spikes in lightning were evident, have
confidence with the lightning jump that you could warn on the storm right away…every
tornadic storm had a lightning jump and a cooling top
o
Like the gridded GLM best overlaid with radar or
MESH, not with satellite
o
Still would like a centroid, a way to calculate
the lightning jump or a ProbSevere for lightning
o
Like the GLM combined product, tried the 1
minute vs the 5 minutes…not sure anything was gained by using the 1 minute
o
Would not release to local offices until the
mapping is fixed
o
For training, going to need case studies, lots
of concrete examples instead of job sheets.
Provide procedures. Could even do
live webinars. Felt the training module
for this project was too slow, equation/laws information were too in-depth
- · NUCAPS
o
Like the gridded versions a lot, there is some
real potential value there
o
Gridded data is really blocky
o
Latency is still an issue
o
Could give confidence to your forecast, or give
you pause…maybe need to re-asses your forecast
o
If you aren’t near an upper air site, the data
has use even if it’s not perfect
o
Make sure it makes sense with its location in
the AWIPS menu, and provide a way to know when a satellite pass occurs…otherwise
it’s easy to forget to look at the data
- · ProbSevere
o
Why isn’t ProbTor higher than 90% when there is
a confirmed tornado?
o
Trends were good, helpful to get a warning out
right away…especially on shift changes
o
Weird times when ProbTor would go up, but the
AzShear would go down
