- · GOES-16 ABI Imagery and products (Imagery/Derived/Channel Differences/RGB Composites)
o
Played with Channel 1-15…was able to see the
difference in temperatures for 13,14,15
o
Fire products did really well, especially with
the fire over North Carolina, really popped out
o
Need help sheets, some case studies
o
Change the naming convention of the RGB products
o
Wouldn’t hurt to spend an hour at the beginning
on each week going through the RGB images
o
Check the sampling in AWIPS, make sure they are
correct
- · GLM
o
Storms that spiked on the gridded data drew
attention to storms, still hard to look at the point and be able to notice
trends
o
Like the color table with the bright yellows and
reds really differentiating the storms that needed to be watched
o
Excited because it’s going to cover some areas we
don’t have current coverage for, and good for public safety
o
For training, open up with some case studies,
capture the attention of the forecaster
o
Confusion about the difference between groups,
events and flashes…need to create a good conceptual model…what is actually
happening in the storm?
- · NUCAPS
o
Point soundings were useful, matched the
environment
o
Gridded data weren’t coming across well in
AWIPS, things were missing
o
Liked to look at the gridded data for higher
areas of CAPE and the pick the point sounding near that area
o
Didn’t play with the cross sections, but think
they will be valuable for forecasting
o
Need to improve latency
o
Needs to be a way to know which point was
clicked, an identifier besides latitude and longitude
o
Since the MetOps come in sooner, they might be
more helpful if they were operational
- · ProbSevere
o
Trends were so much more important than anything
o
ProbHail was really accurate
o
ProbWind seemed to really catch high wind values
where it was most expected
o
Would like a way to look at threats as
individual layers, maybe a four panel…since some days certain threats are more
predominant than others
o
ProbTor wasn’t as good when storms morphed
together into larger ProbSevere objects
o
Saw high azimuthal shear values, but ProbTor
value was low
o
Like the contouring
