5 SPoRT SAC Nov 21-22, 2005 Earth-Sun System Division National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA’s Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) Center, Huntsville, Alabama U.S.A. Science Advisory Committee 21 November 2005 Huntsville, AL Program Response to SAC Administrative Recommendations

6 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

7 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:

8 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:
