Tiksi Atmospheric Observatory Science Team Meeting: NOAA and the National Science Foundation (NSF), in collaboration with the Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI), are developing an atmospheric observatory at Tiksi, Russia. NOAA will provide instruments for surface-based measurements; NSF provided funding for infrastructure. Tiksi complements the other NOAA atmospheric observatories at Barrow, Alaska, and Alert and Eureka, Canada. Jeff Key is a member of the Tiksi Science Team, which held its first meeting in Boulder, Colorado, May 12-15. Key gave a presentation on relevant satellite products and applications. (J.

ITEMS FOR THE DIVISION CHIEF, CoRP:
Presentations at the Annual GOES-R Proving Ground Meeting: W. Feltz, J. Gerth, S. Bachmeier and T. Schmit all presented at the 2nd annual GOES-R (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R) Proving Ground (PG) review meeting that was held in Boulder, Colorado, on May 15. The presentations covered the University of Wisconsin Convection Initiation (UWCI) algorithm, recent PG activities with the National Weather Service (NWS), examples of PG in action and in the field, and future plans. In addition, a demonstration of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Weather Event Simulator (WES) case was given. The alpha version showcased the 16 ABI in both CONUS and mesoscale modes. (T.
