SPoRT SAC Nov 21-22, 2005 Earth-Sun System Division National Aeronautics and Space Administration The 2005 Administrative Recommendations: 1. Continue to emphasize SPoRT strengths LMA, MODIS, AIRS, regional DA 2. Respond to relevant calls for proposals Refer to Submitted/Pending Proposal Summary handout 3. Publications Journals- 5 in 2005, 2 in 2004 Conferences- 15 papers at 2006 AMS Annual Meeting Conferences 4 AIRS, 2 MODIS, 4 LMA, 1 Assessment, 4 Other 4. Coordinate with GMAO and JCSDA To maximize the benefit of SPoRT activities for the operational community On-going discussions (soil moisture, Project Hurricane-WRF, GSFC-Land Information System - WRF) 5. Coordinate R&O activities with NOAA Lapenta, Goodman support to R&O planning, TOR, working groups

SPoRT SAC Nov 21-22, 2005 Earth-Sun System Division National Aeronautics and Space Administration Derived Products from Observations: 1. Continue development of MODIS expertise and products where need exists. Coordinate with NESDIS/ORA and science teams. Additional WFOs (Mobile, Miami, SMG) ORA coordination on GOES R3 (GLM risk reduction), AWG 2. Make MODIS bands and DPI available to NWS SR as resources permit Images and products complement GOES in transition to NPOESS and GOES-R 3. Develop new VISITview training modules as needed with COMET UCAR/NPOESS training Workshop Southern Thunder Workshop 25-27 July 2005, Fort Worth, TX WMO WWRP Nowcasting Workshop in Pretoria 4. Continue development of LMA products and exploration of LMA- convective relationships WRF Thunderstorm/Lightning Threat, Convective Initiation Gatlin M.S. Thesis exploring tornadogenesis and LMA The 2005 Administrative Recommendations:

SPoRT SAC Nov 21-22, 2005 Earth-Sun System Division National Aeronautics and Space Administration Regional Data Assimilation: 1. LMA, MODIS, and AIRS DA should continue as high priority 2 km WRF assimilation and convective precipitation structures Operational assimilation of MODIS SSTs into WRF Project Columbia- access and WRF simulations AIRS profile and radiance assimilation 2. Transitioning to the NCEP NMM version of WRF, GSI Addressed in FY06 plans 3. Continue with the local ensemble research. Seek outside collaborators and work to acquire other ensemble members Addressed in FY06 plans- Project Hurricane, WRF contribution to Krishnamurti Super-Ensemble used at NHC The 2005 Administrative Recommendations:
