Initial Integration Attempt
Satellite Data in NSSL's
Warning Decision Support System
- Displayed same as radar
- Visible and
Infrared
data mapped to azimuth/range
- Limited area (not even as large as radar)
- Temperature trends
- based on radar cell id
- adjusted for typical parallax displacement
- sampled square area 20km x 20 km
Conclusions
- Software based on TIME
- Independent trends needed (correlate to radar?)
- Flexible sampling area (i.e. sample entire anvil/feature)
- Complex trend graphs more useful
- variable scale (i.e. for day/season, region)
- longer time span than 10 volume scans
- Larger display
- Allow satellite to extend radar range
