• Description:
  The Spring Experiment activity at the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, OK provides the GOES-R Program with an operational environment in which to deploy data and algorithms associated with its next-generation geostationary satellite remote sensing facility. These products include both baseline products and operational readiness trials of products transitioning from GOES-R Risk Reduction and the Algorithm Working Group. The availability of GOES-R products demonstrate, pre-launch, a portion of the full observing capability of the GOES-R system, subject to the constraints of existing data sources to emulate the satellite sensors. The SPC receives early exposure to these next-generation products. Operational use of these new or improved data streams provides SPC with the opportunity to critique and improve the products relatively early in their development. In the first year, the SPC expected to lay foundational relationships and develop test methodologies that would lead to optimal testing of suites of products in subsequent years. The products available for 2009's Spring Experiment included a 0-1 hour Convective Initiation (CI) Nowcast and 15-minute Cloud-top Cooling (CTC) Rate from the University of Wisconsin's Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (UW-CIMSS), a 0-1 hour Severe Hail Probability from the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), and a 10-km Total Lightning Source Density GLM proxy from NASA's Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center (SPoRT) and the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL).
