ASPB and CIMSS Participation in GIMPAP and PSDI Annual Reviews
Several scientists from the Advanced Satellite Products Branch (ASPB) and CIMSS remotely participated in the GOES-I-M Product Assurance Plan (GIMPAP) and Product System Development and Implementation (PSDI) Annual Reviews held from 09-11 August 2011 in Suitland, MD.
ASPB and CIMSS scientists presented a total of 10 new GIMPAP projects on a variety of topics including deep convection, cloud properties, data assimilation, biomass burning, radar/satellite data fusion, and tropical cyclones.
In addition, Jeff Key (NOAA/NESDIS/STAR), Andrew Heidinger (NOAA/NESDIS/STAR), and Michael Pavolonis (NOAA/NESDIS/STAR) represented 6 PSDI projects (as project lead or back-up lead) involving the transition of polar winds, cloud properties, Arctic composite satellite imagery, tropical cyclones, and volcanic ash to operations.
