Polar Winds Presenation at Norwegian Polar Institute: J. Key gave an invited presentation at the Norwegian Polar Institute (Norsk Polarinstitutt, http://www.npolar.no)
in Tromsø, Norway, on Friday, February 24. The subject of
the talk was the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) polar winds project, including applications to weather
forecasting and climate prediction. (J. Key, E/RA2,

FOR THE DIVISION CHIEF, CoRP
Status of Tromsø Polar Winds System: J. Key and J. Overton (Integrated Program Office, IPO) worked with Kongsberg Satellite Services personnel (Ksat, http://www.ksat.no)
at the Ksat facility in Tromsø, Norway to implement
a system that will utilize the IPO antenna on Svalbard for the
generation of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) polar winds in real-time. While it was hoped that routine
generation of the MODIS winds and other MODIS products would begin this
week, problems with the low-level format of the data and with
scheduling of the antenna will cause a delay on the order of three
weeks or more. (J. Key, E/RA2,

Manuscript Review:
M. Pavolonis completed a manuscript review for the Journal of Applied
Meteorology and Climatology. The manuscript described a new
methodology for classifying clouds with GOES-10 and GOES-12 imager
data. (M.Pavolonis, E/RA2, 608-263-9597, mike.pavolonis@noaa.gov)
