Search the RAMMB website
00:00:00:00 – 00:00:28:14
Speaker 1
Like briefly about where you can visualize, the so our data. Not any would stand by us is going to talk about getting into the ellipse. But there is a website, which you see here. The URL is up here. And I think if you do, a search on SARS or R goes 14, you’ll either go to this 2015 site or the 2014, 13 or 12 sites.
00:00:28:16 – 00:00:35:19
Unknown
And this is overseen mostly by Tim Schmidt. And right now this is a animation.
00:00:35:21 – 00:01:04:09
Speaker 1
And like us, is going to be talking a little bit about this case a little bit later. But this is an animation that Scott Doc Meyer put together just comparing. Really I could look at this image all day. I don’t know how well it’s animating across articulate present across go to a meeting, but you do see the website up there and you can look at this online at your own time, but goes 14 in the middle in one minute imagery versus the standard, 15 on the west, 15 on the left and 13 on the east.
00:01:04:11 – 00:01:25:21
Speaker 1
Right. Showing, really just what if one minute imagery gets you as far as from top dynamics go and, you know, where are the overshooting tops? How long, how long does it take for them to go up and come down? So just some great stuff to look at. And if you scroll down in this, there are a whole bunch of links you can go to to look at.
00:01:25:24 – 00:01:53:18
Speaker 1
And then we have where things are going to be going, where it’s the center point. So for example, the data center point has been moved to the east looking over North Carolina. And for there are, there are past center points, Great Lakes. And then if there are links to it, for example, there is something on the satellite blog about goes are being and so are scanning from this particular day just showing, what’s going on.
00:01:53:18 – 00:02:16:26
Speaker 1
So we have different loops, that are linked to here. So you can look at information over, over the internet. If you are at home and you want to look at stuff in real time, I’ll suggest real Earth, which, so the the link is up here. So real Earth that FCC dot we’re studying here. Edu, this is a web map service.
00:02:16:28 – 00:02:39:14
Speaker 1
And if you go down to presets and scroll down, you’ll see an SRS. Now I can never say it’s r s o r link to click And then you can, you’ll see that you have you can put that into the flight, add on in there and you see a visible shortwave infrared sharp, water vapor, longwave infrared.
00:02:39:17 – 00:03:06:04
Speaker 1
And then this is a 13 micron as well. So you can then look at this and change the animation times up here. Change how many hours you’re looking at. You can probably bring your computer down to its knees if you choose more than 2 hours or 10 hours or something like that. But, this is a way to look at some, high resolution animation, with, with the so r and this stays pretty much pretty mostly.
00:03:06:04 – 00:03:17:00
Unknown
Up to date. There are, animations that we’ve put on the Sims satellite blog. So if you go to YouTube and just type in Sims, the Sims.
00:03:17:00 – 00:03:43:24
Speaker 1
Satellite blog will show up. So here we have an animation that I just uploaded that Tim Schmidt put together, showing two days worth of 10.7 micron imagery over Texas. And I’m just going to make this high resolution and make it full screen. And then you can. Yes. Thank you. I will allow it. So you can use this to look at features.
00:03:43:24 – 00:04:06:12
Speaker 1
Again. This is the 10.7 micron interest, ten point micron 10.7 micron data. Some really interesting things happening down in the southern part of Texas here. That again, you can see how well the one minute imagery captures the storm. Top dynamics, the overshooting tops. You have enhanced this happening all the time. And he’s immersed in these and they decay.
00:04:06:14 – 00:04:28:09
Speaker 1
So just great. Very compelling imagery to to watch. And it’s like a I can I could watch this all day. Really. So are there any questions on what I’ve shown you so far? So I’m just showing you some links. Again, real Earth data set up. We’re starting to do there is a Sims. There is a Sims YouTube channel.
00:04:28:11 – 00:04:42:18
Speaker 1
And if you enter s r s o r go 14, you can go to the website that we maintain here. That will has links to all the different days and actually all four years of SRA. So our data.
00:04:42:20 – 00:04:48:13
Unknown
Started in 2012 and you can see which sectors are being used. Now.
00:04:48:13 – 00:04:51:00
Speaker 1
Maybe we’ll get something on the West Coast for you sometime.
00:04:51:00 – 00:04:58:06
Unknown
Before the end of this. So this, this particular incantation of espresso R.
00:04:58:08 – 00:05:28:25
Speaker 1
It’s going to be ending on June 11th. And then there is another one in August, so that this is all predicated on the continued health of ghost 15, which, as you all know, is, kind of hobbled by only one useful star tracker. Now. So that’s my quick, five minute talk on where you can find, so our data outside of eight weeks, and Dan is going to take control for me now, I hope.
00:05:28:27 – 00:05:37:14
Speaker 1
And and I’ll show you and show you some information about, that case over Texas.
00:05:37:16 – 00:05:46:18
Speaker 3
Yeah. Before I, go here, to Scott Brockmire. Have something to show. Do you have something to show Scott?
00:05:46:20 – 00:06:06:13
Speaker 1
I guess all all I had is, lips, had a look. Interesting. Look at the, overnight, the, and mix along with the Mexico texts border area. But I know if.
00:06:06:16 – 00:06:16:13
Speaker 3
I capacity, we got plenty of time. I see two of you listed on the go to meeting, so I just to choose the top one and hopefully it’ll get to you here.
00:06:16:15 – 00:06:30:14
Speaker 1
We’ll see how that goes. Whole thing. I’m not going to mess things up because I’m working up to the monitors here.
00:06:30:17 – 00:06:32:15
Speaker 3
Your screen has to be blinking.
00:06:32:18 – 00:06:39:09
Speaker 1
Yeah. That’s not going well. I’ve never seen that to be in an infinite loop here.
00:06:39:11 – 00:06:51:05
Unknown
I’ve never seen that behavior before. So making an interesting, I think, pattern. Thank you. You want to, I think you should.
00:06:51:05 – 00:06:58:23
Speaker 1
Pass on me. I don’t know what’s going on here. Okay, but that is cool.
00:06:58:25 – 00:07:02:04
Speaker 1
I suppose it.
00:07:02:06 – 00:07:29:21
Speaker 3
Okay, we’ll come back to my screen here, and, I’m going to show a blog entry. And just the easiest way to get to that blog entry. You can start from the visit page, go to Blog sites, link on the left. And I have a list of satellite related blogs under that blog sites page. So you’ll see the SIM satellite blog, the visit blog, and then this third one down is the one I’m going to go to.
00:07:29:21 – 00:08:01:00
Speaker 3
It’s the Sierra Ramey Goes our Proving Ground blog. And, what I did was just put together a blog entry for, the event from two days ago over Texas. And, like I said, invite you to look at this afterwards so you can see the full one minute imagery. And I have a little discussion here. And, I’m going to look at this second loop, which I have, loaded up up here.
00:08:01:03 – 00:08:27:02
Speaker 3
And, focus your attention over here on Texas. This is the, same loop Scott was looking at earlier. But one of the very interesting things I saw here is, I’ll leave my cursor down here with the storms over Texas, southwest Texas. Here you can see these orphan anvils, coming out from this area of, developing cumulus here, along the dry line.
00:08:27:02 – 00:09:13:23
Speaker 3
And then there’s another area further to the south. But you see multiple or orphan anvils here. In other words, attempts at convective initiation that, fail and these kind of things you can just see more often with the one minute imagery. And in this particular case, I think it’s an added value because, by the by the later portions here, when storms actually got going, go ahead and switch to the, later loop here as we got going a little bit later, the northern storms did did get going in terms of thunderstorms, but they still had problems, in terms of keeping themselves organized, actually dying off, new ones going, whereas the southern
00:09:13:23 – 00:09:20:06
Speaker 3
storm just continued to intensify.
00:09:20:08 – 00:09:54:04
Speaker 3
So I’ll continue on here. And you can see that northern storm continue along. And then by the end of the loop that one dies away. So the message of the story here is this is something you just wouldn’t have been able to identify in a regular loop. And that is just the numerous, orphan anvils, the numerous attempts that convective initiation that had failed that you can see over these very short time period, whereas you didn’t see that at all, with the southern storm.
00:09:54:04 – 00:10:16:15
Speaker 3
And that one just continued on here. So, so these kind of things that you may never have really thought about in terms of applications in the past, with the routine imagery, you’ll be able to see these trends and and note historically that this storm, for whatever reason, up here, had struggled and continued to struggle and eventually did just die off.
00:10:16:15 – 00:10:40:03
Speaker 3
Whether it’s more stable up there or whatever, for whatever reason. And then the storm to the south, was much more intense and, continued to intensify. So, that was just one of the things that I pointed out. This was, let me go ahead back to the the loop here. And and again, I’ll invite you to look at this, on your own here.
00:10:40:03 – 00:11:05:29
Speaker 3
So you’ll see the full, one minute imagery and you can see a lot of interesting things, including, different, these various, orientations of, these anvils are different due to the different storm motions. What happens to these storms is they intersect these fronts. How quickly they die off or or stay a long and mix boundary here in, Texas Panhandle, western Oklahoma.
00:11:05:29 – 00:11:27:29
Speaker 3
So, so a lot of interesting things to look at, in this, blog entry. So I’ll invite you to, to do that, on your own here. At this point, I just wanted to point out, one of the places you can see this, as we were talking about earlier, is on the Sierra web pages.
00:11:27:29 – 00:11:49:23
Speaker 3
Dan Lindsey set this up. And at this particular site, you can see the different sectors that are available, as well as some, some of the different channels. And then finally, since Dan is on the line, I’ll just let Dan, talk briefly about the availability of this data in a way that he makes, available. Yeah.
00:11:49:23 – 00:12:18:04
Speaker 1
So, first of all, I think and, and or Scott said this at the beginning, but the sector for. Hey, Dan, can you click on that top link that the visible lift there and you can see the width of the sector. This is so there’s about it. This covers about one quarter of the continental U.S.. And actually, not quite the north south extent, but if you if you exclude Florida, it goes almost from, say, the Gulf Coast up to the Canadian border.
00:12:18:07 – 00:12:35:13
Speaker 1
I mean, it changes daily and we move it around based on where we expect thunderstorms and fires and other, interesting phenomena. This time of year. We are focusing on convection just because this is the time of year that we see most severe storms in general. The last two days it was over the Texas area in Oklahoma. Today, we moved it to the east to capture the Gulf Coast convection.
00:12:35:13 – 00:13:04:08
Speaker 1
There’s a slight risk over the coast of North Carolina, and we wanted to get some sort of, everyday thunderstorms in Florida as well. Tomorrow, it’s very likely going to be back over Texas, Oklahoma, a New Mexico, Colorado area. And we’ll kind of just follow wherever the most interesting weather is. Now, what we’re doing here at Sierra is collecting the data from our ground station and sending it out for, via LDM in formats for UPS to as well as any snow.
00:13:04:08 – 00:13:24:03
Speaker 1
I know you guys are probably, all unequipped to at this point. Or is anybody still in new ops one in Monterrey? We’re still in areas one will be switching soon. Okay. At this point, unfortunately, we’re not sending out the data in, a one format, but, we are sending out an 8 to 2 format for the rest of you.
00:13:24:09 – 00:13:46:09
Speaker 1
And, if you are interested in access, just let Dan know via email after the call and we can send you instructions. It kind of depends on which region you’re in on. Who you get the instructions from. Dave Riddell is the eastern region contact, Eric Howson is the southern region. Chad Gravel has instructions for central region.
00:13:46:12 – 00:14:01:20
Speaker 1
And I don’t think we necessarily have a western region contact, but we can get it figured out if you guys in the West are interested in this too. We’ve yet to have any sectors over the West, but we certainly will before the end of the experiment on June 12th. Anybody have any questions about this? Just a comment.
00:14:01:20 – 00:14:27:01
Speaker 1
I think these are the size of the mesoscale domain for goes-r. So that’s I think that’s that’s why this particular size north south, east west was chosen. Yeah, I think you’re right. This is Mel in Eureka. I do have a question for you. Not so much the first, phase, that ends in June 12th, but the second one, is that also going to be it goes 14 or is that it goes 15?
00:14:27:03 – 00:14:49:15
Speaker 1
That will be goes 14 still. Of course it will be. Is that the angle to the west? You know, it’s at 105 west. So the scan angle from Goes 14 to the west is probably pretty similar to Goes 15 from, from where it’s centered out in the ocean. Okay. But yeah, these are August 14th because they’re they’re doing these specific one minute scans.
00:14:49:21 – 00:15:13:22
Speaker 1
They don’t have to do full disks and everything else like the operational East and west. You. Right. Okay. Is there a listing of of, planned the sector locations, the planned sector locations through the phase one? Yes. We make that decision, approximately 24 hours prior each day. Okay. Scott’s page that he had up earlier, the Simms link.
00:15:13:24 – 00:15:19:27
Unknown
Shows the where they were in previous days and the current days, but then the next day is not really decided.
00:15:19:27 – 00:15:36:03
Speaker 1
Like, for example, we’re talking now about where tomorrow’s is going to be, right? It looks like it’s going to be over Texas, right? Yeah. Here’s the here’s the link I’m talking about. You can see the locations from the previous days, but the future days haven’t been determined yet. Sure. Yeah. You guys sure that. Sorry for the question. Thank you.
00:15:36:05 – 00:15:47:06
Speaker 1
So lobby Dan if you want some someplace to chosen. I lobby Tim all the time. He ignores me. Okay.
00:15:47:08 – 00:16:06:22
Speaker 3
Okay. Just before, we wrap up here, remember to check the, the blogs for, you know, each day here when there’s something interesting, either The Sims, satellite blog, the visit blog, or the, that goes our Proving Ground blog that I just showed you. What we’ll be putting one minute, imagery on there. The examples.
00:16:06:22 – 00:16:22:26
Speaker 3
And that’s really the best way to look at it. So you’ll be able to see the full, one minute imagery and we’ll have a little discussion with it as well. Are there any more questions throughout Civil and day here?
00:16:22:28 – 00:16:25:15
Speaker 3
Okay. Thanks, everybody. Have a great day. Thanks.
