Slide: 2

Outline• Staff change in GCC team

• Retro-processing status

• Product Update and Status• GPPA vs. SCOPE-CM Maturity Matrix • Possible solutions to promote the MW product

• Outcomes of 2013 Users’ Workshop

• Near term goals

Slide: 3

Staff Change in GCC• New GCC Director

– Dr. Lawrence (Larry) Flynn as the new GCC Director– Thanks Fuzhong Weng for his support to the GCC functions over the past six

years.

• New GSICS Quarterly Editor– Dr. George Ohring as the GQ editor since Jan 2013

Slide: 4

GEO-LEO Retro-Processing @ Univ. Wisconsin

• Completed and Delivered the GOES vs AIRS retrospective GSICS processing done for GOES Imagers– GOES-08 through -12

• Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) vs AIRS code installed and working at CIMSS– Some data delivered

• Proposed order for back-processing of non-GOES imagers:– MSG (MET-9 done, MET-started) , MET-7 (done), MET-5– MTSAT (GMS-5)– FY-2C– FY-2D– FY-2E

• MET-8 and MET-9 begun

Slide: 5

Product Updates

• Two GEO-LEO IR products in pre-Op phase– EUMETSAT vs. IASI product– GOES Imager vs. IASI product– MTSAT product is close to pre-Op, need the undergoing uncertainty analysis

• One new product in demonstration phase – NOAA (A)MSU LEO-LEO

• It is agreed that bias monitoring is a powerful tool, not a product.

GPPA vs. SCOPE MMI

Slide: 10

Challenges to promote MW products • Very limit response to review the MW product

– Only one panel responded to review part of the products

• Possible Solution– Re-organize the WM subgroup?– Cheng-Zhi Zou has identified additional reviewers– “One suggestion is that we probably need to have a microwave calibration meeting

sometimes next year. STAR had such meetings in March 2010 on Microwave Sounding and Imagery and in 2011 on AMSU surface channels. These were very successful meetings. Now STAR has several groups working on microwave calibration and products. So a microwave meeting at NCWCP should be appealing to the community.” - email from C. Zou

Outcomes of 2013 Users’ Workshop

• Users’ Request– Calibration alert system– Intermediate products such as SNO and GEO-LEO collocation data– UV and synthetic observation subgroups

Slide: 12

Near-term Goals• GSICS Products

• GEO-LEO IR product in Operation phase• DCC products in Demonstration Phase• Create UV working group
