CIMSS Scientists at the 13th Asia-Oceania Meteorological Satellite Users Conference (AOMSUC-13): Jessica Braun, Kathy Strabala and Scott Lindstrom from the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) attended the 13th Asia-Oceania Meteorological Satellite Users’ Conference (AOMSUC-13) held 5-9 November 2023 in Busan, Korea. The conference, organized this year by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), brings together Satellite Providers and Users from throughout the Pacific Basin and eastern Asia. The presentations given by CIMSS scientists were “CSPP Geo: Free Software for creating products from Himawari and GOES-R satellites” (J. Braun), “The Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP): Supporting the Use of Near-Real-Time Polar Orbiter Satellite Data” (K. Strabala) and “Lightning observations and investigations in the western Pacific” (S. Lindstrom and W. Aydlett). (S. Lindstrom, CIMSS, 608 263 4425)

TRAINING AND EDUCATION:

CIMSS participation at WMO RA-II and RA-V Regional Meteorological Satellite Training Program at AOMSUC-13: Allen Huang, Scott Lindstrom, Kathy Strabala and Jessica Braun, all from the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS), were in Jinjeon, Korea at the offices of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA)’s National Meteorological Satellite Center (NMSC) to provide satellite training (from 3-5 November 2023) to nearly two dozen students representing 18 countries in Asia and Oceania at a training event preceding the Asia-Oceania Meteorological Satellite Users' Conference (AOMSUC-13, held 6-9 November 2023 in Busan Korea). The talk titles were "Meteorological Satellite Sounding Theory & Resources", "Why Sounding Data Can Help You", "Geostationary vs Polar Orbit satellite data: Making the case for both", and "Microwave Satellite Retrievals and Applications". All were all given on 4 November 2023 over the course of 3 hours. This was followed by a 1-hour presentation on the "Global NOAA Flood Product" led by William Straka, remotely from CIMSS, in coordination with Rion Salman at the conference, representing BMKG in Indonesia. The five separate presentations are available at https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/training/AOMSUC13/. (A. Huang, W. Straka III, K. Strabala, J. Braun, S. Lindstrom, CIMSS, 608 263 4425)
