August GOES-14 Super Rapid Scan Operations for GOES-R Scanning: The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-14 Imager special 1-minute (SRSOR – Super Rapid Scan Operations for GOES-R) data collection and dissemination began this week. These unique data are planned to flow until August 28, 2014. The data are being used in select National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Offices (WFO), and several national centers (Storm Prediction Center, Weather Prediction Center, Aviation Weather Center, etc.). Details (daily image center points, start times, animations, etc.) are available at http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/srsor2014/GOES-14_SRSOR.html. Also see the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) Satellite Blog at http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/blog/archives/16448. These data were also highlighted on the NOAA NESDIS Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/NOAANESDIS. (T. Schmit, E/RA2, 608-263-0291, tim.j.schmit@noaa.gov; S. Bachmeier, CIMSS, 608-263-3958; S.

Sea Ice Analyst Workshop: A Sea Ice Analyst Workshop was held in Anchorage, Alaska, 12-13 August 2014. J. Key participated remotely and co-authored a presentation on sea ice products from VIIRS and other satellite sensors. Participants were from the National Weather Service (NWS), the Alaska Ice Desk (NWS), the National Ice Center, Shell Oil, the Canadian Ice Service, the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).

Manuscript on Near-Real-Time Simulation of the GOES-R ABI Submitted: A manuscript titled “Near-Real-Time Simulation of the GOES-R ABI for User Readiness and Product Validation” by Thomas J. Greenwald, R. Bradley Pierce, Todd Schaack, Jason Otkin, Marek Rogal, Kaba Bah and Hung-Lung Huang was submitted to the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. It summarizes an advanced modeling system developed at the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) to generate proxy Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) datasets in near-real-time for validating ABI algorithms, testing data systems and preparing National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters and other users through Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R series (GOES-R) Proving Ground testbed activities.
