4 transitioning research data to the operational weather community SAC Membership Represent beneficiaries, partners, end users - diversity –Knowledgeable of research to transition activities, NASA observational and research capabilities, end user forecast problems –Representatives from operational and research partners NASA NOAA – NWS, NCEP, JCSDA University Private sector Nominated by SAC / SPoRT and approved by HQs Program Manager 7-10 members Serve through 2-3 SAC reviews for continuity

5 transitioning research data to the operational weather community Role of SAC Major duties/responsibilities Serve as a knowledge resource on short-term weather prediction, satellite data and derived products, mesoscale modeling, data assimilation issues, short-term weather forecasting and their impact on operational weather forecasting activities Provide scientific guidance and direction for future SPoRT activities including –transitional activities and supporting research, and –new collaborations and partnerships Participate in biennial reviews leading to report on program / project recommendations

6 transitioning research data to the operational weather community Invited Attendees Invited guest observers Bill Lapenta –NOAA/NCEP/EMC, Camp Springs Steve Goodman – NOAA/NESDIS GOES-R Project Scientist Kim Richardson – Naval Research Lab, Monterey, CA Brian Motta - NOAA/ESRL, Boulder Mike Johnson - NOAA/NWS / OST, Silver Spring Dave Novak – NOAA HPC, Camp Springs oRole: provide feedback to SAC as requested oLook for new collaborative research/transition opportunities with SPoRT Open meeting – NSSTC interested parties welcome to attend NASA ESO, UAH, USRA, etc. NWS OST, MIC, SOO, forecasters, etc. (via GoToMeeting)
