GOES-R Enabling Capability HES/ABI Sounding Improvement - 4 -D improvement in stability, winds, moisture. Resolution: mountain waves Impact on Av. Products - Turbulence Likelihood field. - Convective initiation, nowcast, forecast. - Turbulence Likelihood field. GOES-8 Simulated GOES-R Ozone Detection (Schmidt & Li) - New 9. 6 μm ABI channel for obs at high temporal/spatial resolution. - HES ozone accuracy. - Synergistic ABI/HES use. Water Vapor Tracer (Wimmers) - Synergistic ABI/HES use. Turbulence Likelihood field via tropopause folding.
GOES-R Enabling Capability Geo Lightning Mapper Cloud Properties - Cloud masking - Cloud top height/temperature - Cloud top phase (ice/water) Fog & Low Cloud Detection Impact on Av. Products Critical Improvement to: - Convective Nowcasting - Diagnosis of severe oceanic Conv. - Convective storm evolution. - Improved NWP initialization. - Early volc eruption alert? (Electrified eruption cloud) Critical Improvement to: - Ceiling and visibility products - In-flight icing products Critical to: - Airport ops - Overnight flts - AM ops GOES-10 Simulated GOES-R
A Focus on GOES-R Impacts – Volcanic Ash GOES-R Enabling Capabilities • ABI - All spectral channels for ash (8) • Key IR upper-level SO 2 (7. 3, 8. 5 μm) • Spatial & temporal resolution (5 -15 min; 0. 5 -2 km) - Continuity for plume tracking - Resolution for hot spot analysis • HES/ABI Satwinds for plume tracking. • Temp/wind profiles for plume heights. • CO 2 slicing for plume heights. • Others. . Intermediate GOES-R Products
Enabling Intermediate GOES-R Products for VA Ellrod RGB-rendered ash analysis adjusted for day and night. Thermal hot-spot monitoring for eruption alert. AWRP Product Value Added: - Fusion - Automation, animation - User interface - Edit/display tools - History database - etc. Upper-level SO 2 with ABI 15 min frequency. Automated guidance/support to AWC, VAAC’s, others.
. . and many more impacts and opportunities to improve aviation safety and efficiency.
