Factors Driving Change Operational Replacement of our GEO (GOES-R) & LEO (NPP/JPSS/MetOP/GCOM) observing systems to begin within next 5 years International and Research Missions will become increasingly part of our satellite observing capabilities due to national budget limitations and a rapidly expanding global satellite capability This + other development drives huge increase in data volume & satellite observing capabilities NWS Strategic Vision has been redefined: Focused on Services and helping forecaster “manage” observations and model data with objective to: –Warn-on-Forecast, Targeted Service Improvement (eg: aviation, huricane intensity, tornado lead time, etc.) IT Infrastructure redesign is underway, but is bandwidth constrained…data fusion, push-pull, cloud computing, will become a central theme to our transformed capabilities

4 Factors Driving Change Data Rate Projections! w/NPP w/JPSS 1 w/GOES-R w/JPSS 2 w/GOES-S w/MPAR

Satellite User Readiness Near-Term Challenges Bandwidth – How and what satellite products will be available to Users? –Data Fusion – what & where are the data integration nodes? –AWIPS II development –How do requirements differ between WFO’s, Centers –How do requirements differ regionally, seasonally, how to handle localized products Training – How do we prepare users for this explosion of data and implications to warning processes near term (Day-1) How do we systematically progress towards our strategic goal?
