Status of planning to receive new data (from GOES-R and other) GOES R

To update our system to GRB planned for 2017. In case of purchase the equipment, it will include all (1-4) the system components of the ANNEX 1 of the Draft Roadmap Version 1.0 The installation of a reception system should include a mass storage system and a good communication network. The development of a new set of algorithms for encoding and compression of large amount of data should be recommended (Big Data issues?) The SMN would exchange with other RAIII and RA IV countries data and metadata and final products. Moreover, the SMN would evaluate to upload the information to GEONETCAST-A.

Needs for capacity building and training Forecast Offices challenges

The goal of the training plan is to ensure that forecasters are ready to integrate GOES-R data and products into forecast and warning operations from the beginning of GOES-R operations. (from GOES-R Training Plan for NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Forecasters; LeRoy Spayd Jr. ., NOAA/NWS, Silver Spring, MD, 21st Conference on Satellite Meteorology, August 2016). After forecasters complete the training modules they should be able to: 1)understand the differences between legacy GOES and GOES-R observations;

2) interpret and utilize GOES-R ABI imagery and derived products in the preparation of NWS forecasts and warnings;

3) utilize the GLM in forecast and warning operations; and

4) understand the fundamentals of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) satellite product techniques and apply these to the identification of meteorological phenomena.

Needs for capacity building and training

Rationalize the use of this huge and sparse amount of information Creating an orientative web page (Semantic Web? ) with a searching menu ordered (among others) by

• Personnel qualification (level of knowledge) • Type of product • User needs • Type of event

Page 28: SMN Argentina satellite summary - World Meteorological ...... Status of satellite data reception Non Operational/Departamento de Teledetección • Non operational (Monday through

Needs for capacity building and training

Classroom courses: Must convene international experts on the operation as well processing of satellite equipment and imagery respectively. Therefore, it is recommended that they should take place at some country in the region with regional scope. Argentina as an unique Spanish speaking South American Centre of Excellence is willing to house them.

Training material language:

The need of spanish/portuguese translations it is strong institutions’ technicians, researchers and forecasters requirement

Page 29: SMN Argentina satellite summary - World Meteorological ...... Status of satellite data reception Non Operational/Departamento de Teledetección • Non operational (Monday through

Needs for capacity building and training

Each country Meteorological Service should Send at least two Forecasters/Supervisors to “in-situ” training (1-3 months) to return with

the enough expertise to attend the forecasts challenges for developing the tasks of a SOO (Science and Operation officer). Pre launch (hopefully) and post launch training.

Creation of a similar to NCEP South American desk oriented to remote sensing?

The SOO in his/her country will be in charge of the reception of the equipment , supervising the installation, verification that it works properly and establish a fluent comunication with the vendor. The SOO must be the liaison between the Research and Development group and the Operational personnel. (Science into Operations)

Page 30: SMN Argentina satellite summary - World Meteorological ...... Status of satellite data reception Non Operational/Departamento de Teledetección • Non operational (Monday through

Needs for capacity building and training

Each country should Send a young scientist graduate on Atmospheric Science to a Proving Ground and Training Center in the USA, with the aim to research about this matter.

PhD candidates under collaborative programas between RAIII & IV countries and USA universities?
