IN THE PRESS:

ITEMS FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR:

ITEMS FOR THE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR:

ITEMS FOR THE OFFICE DIRECTOR, STAR:

Paper Published on Diurnal Cycles in a Blended Satellite-Reanalysis Data Set: A paper titled "Diurnal cycles in Arctic surface radiative fluxes in a blended satellite-climate reanalysis data set" was published in the on-line Journal of Applied Remote Sensing (Vol. 1, 013535, September 13). The co-authors are X. Wang (Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies, CIMSS), J. Key (STAR), C. Fowler and J. Maslanik (University of Colorado). (J. Key, E/RA2, 608-263-2605, jkey@ssec.wisc.edu)

ITEMS FOR THE DIVISION CHIEF, CoRP:

ABI Proxy Data Animations: We have created animations of sample GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) proxy datasets generated from our supercomputer runs for 4-5 June 2005, located at ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/proxy_ppts. The first presentation (51 MB) covers the 15:00 to 20:00 UTC and contains a 16 panel continental U.S. (CONUS) animation. The second presentation (92 MB) covers the period from 22:00 UTC on the 4th to 00:00 UTC on the 5th. The full disk data are at 15 min and 6 km resolution; the CONUS is at 5 min and 2 km resolution; and the mesoscale data are at 1 min and 667 m resolution. (T. Greenwald, CIMSS, 608-263-3629; E. Olson, CIMSS, 608-262-9538; J. Sieglaff, 608-265-5357)

XGOHI Acceptance Review Presentation: T. Schmit will make a (telecom) presentation at the eXtended GOES High-Inclination (XGOHI) Acceptance Review on October 2. This issue is the remapping of the GOES-10 Imager data to remove the affects of the increasing satellite inclination before the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) VARiable (GVAR) datastream is broadcast. The presentation is entitled ‘XGOHI Image and Select Product Analysis”. The draft version is posted at: ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/ABI/xgohi/XGOHI_summary_02Oct07_drat.ppt. (T. Schmit, E/RA2, 608-263-0291, tim.j.schmit@noaa.gov)

Other Meetings and Telecons:

None.

VISITORS:

NEXT WEEK:

ASPB Participation at the EUMETSAT/AMS Satellite Conference: At the combined EUropean organization for the exploitation of METeorological SATellites (EUMETSAT)/ American Meteorological Society (AMS) Satellite Conference, J. Key will give an oral presentation entitled “A 23-Year record of satellite-derived polar winds for climate studies”. A. Heidinger will presented two posters: “Characteristics of the AVHRR Pathfinder Atmospheres Extended (PATMOS-x) Cloud Climatology” and “Comparison of Metop AVHRR cloud products from the CLAVR-x, MAIA and PPS systems”. T. Schmit is on the AMS satellite committee and will present several posters: “The ABI (Advanced Baseline Imager) on GOES-R”, “Baseline instruments for the GOES-R series”, “Intercalibrating the world's geostationary imagers via polar orbiting high spectral resolution data”, and “Results of the GOES-13 Science Test”. (T. Schmit, E/RA2, 608-263-0291, tim.j.schmit@noaa.gov)
