What may be possible to do with the new imagery available from the Next Generation of Satellites<\/strong><\/span>? How can one obtain the data? Are there training materials available?<\/p>

These are just some of the questions that most users have in mind\u00a0as they try to prepare for the next generation of satellites. Because some of the new satellites are already in use while others are yet to become active, the amount of information about each satellite is different and may not be as widely available yet. This Event aimed to give\u00a0a general update on what is available, what is coming next and also provide the opportunity\u00a0for dialogue.<\/p>

The Event was composed of a selection of webinars presented from 16 to 20 November<\/strong> by Japan Meteorological Agency \u2013 JMA<\/strong>,<\/span> China Meteorological Administration \u2013 CMA<\/strong>, India Meteorological Department \u2013 IMD<\/strong>, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration \u2013 NOAA<\/strong>, Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere \u2013 CIRA<\/strong>, European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites \u2013 EUMETSAT<\/strong>, National Institute for Space Research \u2013 INPE<\/strong>, Korea Meteorological Administration \u2013 KMA<\/strong> and the COMET<\/strong> Program.<\/p>

This Event was organised in accordance with the Mission and Strategic Drivers of VLab\u00a0and also\u00a0keeps with the aims of\u00a0the WMO Global Campus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Time:<\/strong> 15:00 UTC
Presenter:<\/strong> Amanda Terborg, CIMSS at NOAA\/AWC
Overview:<\/strong> The GOES-R launch has been moved back to October 2016, providing more time for preparations. This talk will provide an updated overview of the characteristics of GOES-R, which includes the instruments, imager channels and the position of the satellite at launch. In preparation for GOES-R, the US has utilized a Proving Ground concept and created satellite liaison positions to train forecasters throughout the National Weather Service on this next generation satellite technology. In addition to the GOES-R overview, this talk will also provide a liaison perspective from NOAA\u2019s Aviation Weather Center, including roles and responsibilities as well examples and applications of GOES-R imagery and products in operations.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>Session 5<\/strong>
A new era: three-dimensional observation and service with fully high resolution on FY-4 platform is coming next year<\/strong>
Date:<\/strong> 18\/11\/2015
Time:<\/strong> 01:00 UTC
Presenter:<\/strong> Dr. Qiang Guo, National Satellite Meteorological Centre \u2013 CMA
Overview:\u00a0<\/strong>Fengyun-4 (FY-4) is the secondary generation geostationary satellite series in China, whose first experimental member (FY-4A) is scheduled to be launched at the end of 2016. As an outstanding feature, the complete three-dimensional observations with high temporal (1 minute for region with its size at the 103<\/sup> Km2<\/sup> order), spatial (500m for visible band at nadir) and spectral (0.8cm-1<\/sup> for long-wave infrared band) resolutions between visible and thermal infrared spectrums are coming into reality next year, which is widely believed to be the new era of GEO observation at least for CMA. In this presentation, the main recently progresses of the space- and ground- segments of FY-4A are introduced briefly and some new capabilities, e.g. new spectral bands compared with FY-2 VISSR, new measurement results from lightning imager as well as interfering sounding, are also discussed in detail. Meanwhile, the latest data and product service plans, for example data broadcasting and sharing, product distributing and emergency observation support, are presented to benefit the user community especially for the East Asia area as expectations.<\/p>

MTG FCI and LI instruments and how to use MODIS, VIIRS and the new AHI images to simulate what is expected from MTG FCI<\/strong>
Date:<\/strong> 18\/11\/2015
Time:<\/strong> 13:00 UTC
Presenter:<\/strong> Jochen Kerkman, EUMETSAT
Overview:<\/strong> This presentation will first summarise the main benefits from MSG and then focus on Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Imaging Satellite (MTG-I) and its main instruments: the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) and the Lightning Imager (LI). The benefits from the improved spatial and temporal sampling and from the new FCI channels will be shown. Particular focus will be on the NIR2.2 channel for cloud microphysical properties. For this, MODIS and AHI example images will be compared to MSG images. Finally, the LI and its differences to ground-based lightning detection networks will be discussed.<\/p>

Time:<\/strong> 01:00 UTC
Presenter:<\/strong> Mr Yuta Hayashi, Meteorological Satellite Center, JMA
Overview:<\/strong> Himawari-8 features the new 16-bands Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI), which has improved spatial resolution and observation frequency over those of its predecessor MTSAT-series satellites. Utilizing these improvements, JMA\/MSC has enhanced L-2 products such as cloud products, atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) and clear sky radiances (CSRs). In this session, some of the L-2 products as well as RGB composite imagery of Himawari-8 will be introduced.<\/p>

JPSS and beyond: Liaison perspectives from NOAA\u2019s Center for Weather and Climate Prediction<\/strong>
Date:<\/strong> 19\/11\/2015
Time:<\/strong> 15:00 UTC
Presenter:<\/strong> Michael Folmer, ESSIC and CICS at NOAA CWCP
Overview:<\/strong> The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) is the US\u2019s next generation of polar-orbiting environmental satellites. JPSS-1 is expected to be launched in late 2016 and will become NOAA-20. Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP), currently in orbit, is considered the bridge between NOAA\u2019s legacy polar satellites, NASA\u2019s Earth observing missions, and JPSS. The JPSS program has joined the GOES-R program in promoting a Proving Ground approach to preparing for new satellites in the US with additional support from strategically located satellite liaison positions. This talk will provide a brief overview of the JPSS instruments and existing and potential products for users and provide perspectives from a liaison at NOAA\u2019s Center for Weather and Climate Prediction.<\/p>
