NOAA/NESDIS/STAR 3. 2020 4. IMSG 5. SGT, Inc. NOAA/NESDIS has been providing a product suite of high quality Atmospheric Motion Vector (AMV) and Scatterometer Ocean Surface Winds for our user communities. The current satellite constellation for operational AMV winds processing includes GOES-13 as the eastern operational geostationary satellite, GOES -15 serving as the western operational geostationary satellite, MODIS from Terra and Aqua and AVHRR from NOAA and Met. Op series. Recent efforts continue to provide more and better AMV products to user community. Met. Op-B AVHRR Polar Winds was promoted into the operation in April 2013 and S-NPP VIIRS Polar Winds were successfully transitioned into the operation in May 2014. The GOES hourly winds replaced 3 -hour GOES AMV and have been in operation since May 2014. NOAA/NESDIS continues to provide users Met. Op-A ASCAT ocean surface winds. With the Met. Op-B satellite launch and operation, Met. Op-B ASCAT ocean surface winds was promoted into the operation in April 2013. Besides operational wind products, several improvements in NOAA/NESDIS winds processing will be implemented. These incoming improvements include the GOES, MODIS and POES AMV products by using GOES-R/VIIRS wind algorithms. Therefore, it is expected that our future operational wind products would offer more valuable information for users and mitigate the gap of AMV products between current and future GOES-R/JPSS eras. q NOAA/NESDIS GOES Hourly Winds v Satellite: GOES-13, GOES-15 v Coverage: NHEM , SHEM, CONUS/PACUS v Type: LWIR(10. 68 um), WV(6. 55 um), VZ(0. 625 um), SWIR(3. 9 um) Sounder WV(7. 0 um and 7. 4 um) v Frequency: 1 hour q NOAA/NESDIS POLAR Winds v v Satellites: S-NPP, Met.
