Two Papers in Top 10 Most Read Articles: The paper "Validating Atmospheric Reanalysis Data using Tropical Cyclones as Thermometers" by Jim Kossin (NOAA/NCEI/CWC) has been listed as a Top 10 Most Read Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) Article. The paper "Hurricane Wind–Pressure Relationship and Eyewall Replacement Cycles" by the same author is also presently listed as a Top 10 Most Read WAF Article. (J. Kossin, NCEI/CWC, 608-265-5356)

Satellite Imagery of Flooding Rainfall Event in South Carolina: A variety of satellite imagery showing the focused moisture plume and resultant periods of deep convection responsible for the historic heavy rainfall event in South Carolina during October 01-04 2015 was posted on the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) Satellite Blog (http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/blog/archives/19698).

VISITORS:

Goodman and Braun Visit CIMSS: Drs. Steve Goodman of GOES-R Program Office and Scott Braun of NASA visited the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) 8-9 October 2015. They met with many CIMSS and Advanced Satellite Products Branch (ASPB) scientists to discuss progress on GOES-R Risk Reduction projects as well as a variety of topics including but not limited to high impact weather, short courses, proxy data, education and outreach, volcanic ash, cloud products, and field campaigns for validation.

Korean Students Visit CIMSS: For the past two weeks Hye-Sil Kim and Bo-Ram Kim, from the group of Professor Yong-Sang Choi at Ewha Women's University in Seoul, Korea, visited Advanced Satellite Products Branch (ASPB) and Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) cloud remote sensing scientists. Professor Choi is leading the cloud algorithm development efforts for the GOES-R type imager to be flown by Korea in 2018. During their visit, the Hye-Sil and Bo-Ram met with multiple scientists. They learned how to run some of the NOAA Enterprise Cloud Algorithms and how to operate some of our validation tools. Professor Choi has also volunteered to run a cloud product inter-comparison exercise at the upcoming International Cloud Retrieval Workshop using data from the Japanese Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI). CIMSS has played a large in past ICWG inter-comparisons and those tools were also provided. (A. Heidinger, E/RA2, 608-263-6757, andrew.heidinger@noaa.gov)
