3. Satellite Meteorology IST Professional Development Series WHY? –Tremendous increase in quantitative information with GOES- 8/-10 imagers/sounders and POES (AMSU) –New products: Fog/stratus, Reflected energy, ASOS Clouds, and Sounder (Images, Soundings, PW, LI, CAPE) –New Systems: AWIPS (LDADS, GINI) HOW? –Cooperative effort with COMET Professional Development Series (PDS) and Residence Program plus NOAA Coop Institutes (CIRA, CIMSS, CIMMS) WHY? –Tremendous increase in quantitative information with GOES- 8/-10 imagers/sounders and POES (AMSU) –New products: Fog/stratus, Reflected energy, ASOS Clouds, and Sounder (Images, Soundings, PW, LI, CAPE) –New Systems: AWIPS (LDADS, GINI) HOW? –Cooperative effort with COMET Professional Development Series (PDS) and Residence Program plus NOAA Coop Institutes (CIRA, CIMSS, CIMMS)

4. Goals of Satellite Training Improve understanding of satellite data interpretation as part of an integrated observing and forecasting system Increase awareness of applications of satellite observations as analysis, Nowcasting, warning, and forecasting tools Provide support for on-station training via the Professional Development Series on Integrated Sensor Training Incorporate Polar satellites Improve understanding of satellite data interpretation as part of an integrated observing and forecasting system Increase awareness of applications of satellite observations as analysis, Nowcasting, warning, and forecasting tools Provide support for on-station training via the Professional Development Series on Integrated Sensor Training Incorporate Polar satellites

6. Why use PDS Approach? Provide an organized structure for all training materials Keep us (the trainers) in touch with you (the on-station trainers/the students) Help on-site training officers by providing: –Train-the-trainer support –WEB-based Modules & updates to CD modules –Teletraining sessions –Access to a growing set of on-line materials –Access to training activities at other offices (SOO resource) Provide an organized structure for all training materials Keep us (the trainers) in touch with you (the on-station trainers/the students) Help on-site training officers by providing: –Train-the-trainer support –WEB-based Modules & updates to CD modules –Teletraining sessions –Access to a growing set of on-line materials –Access to training activities at other offices (SOO resource)
