in spatial resolution over their existing GOES imagery.
Although the polar orbit of the Terra and Aqua satellites
limit data availability to 2-4 times daily, these image data
are still regularly used to improve situational awareness
(understanding current weather conditions to help support
short-term forecasts and other weather decisions) at many
SPoRT collaborative weather offices. SPoRT has also developed and transitioned additional MODIS products including a suite of red-green-blue (RGB) imagery to WFOs which
replicate the observational capabilities of the EUMETSAT's
Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI)
data products. Many of these MODIS products were transitioned to address specific forecast issues like monitoring
the change in surface visibility due to low clouds, fog, or
smoke, changes in surface forcing leading to local temperature changes, cloud, and precipitation variations, or
other particular issues associated with coastal weather
(see listed forecast problems in the table). Several products from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer
for EOS (AMSR-E) instrument on the Aqua satellite were
made available to coastal forecast offices as well to monitor precipitation associated with approaching storms and
tropical weather systems outside the range of land-based
radar systems. AMSR2 data from the Japanese Global
Change Observation Mission (GCOM) satellite will soon
be transitioned to replace the AMSR-E data stream which
was lost due to its failure in 2011. In addition to products
64
derived directly from swath data, SPoRT produces several
multi-satellite / multi-time products such as the MODIS
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) /Greenness Vegetation Fraction (GVF) product (Case et al., 2012)
and the passive microwave/infrared cloud-free composite
SST product (Haines, et al., 2007) to improve local situational awareness and to assimilate into weather models run
by individual WFOs for local model applications (Case et
al. 2011; Case et al. 2008; and LaCasse et al. 2008).
Early in the collaborative process, SPoRT also transitioned some unique ground-based total lightning measurements to several WFOs. Lightning source and flash density
products derived from the total lightning network data
have been used along with Doppler radar by a number of
WFOs to improve the lead time of severe weather producing tornadoes and damaging hail and for lightning safety
(Darden et al. 2010). The current distribution of total lightning products includes data from four different networks
that have been transitioned to eight WFOs and several
National Centers.
While transitioning EOS satellite data and products
demonstrates the utility of the NASA data for weather
forecasting and other societal applications, the research
data also serve as precursors or proxy data sets to future
NOAA operational instruments such as those of the
Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) and the Geostationary
Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-R satellite
