AMS Event: Satellite Applications for Rainfall Rates and Flood Prediction

Participants will learn how NOAA GOES-R and JPSS satellite data and products are used and incorporated into models for the application, prediction, and decision support in protecting people and property during rainfall and flood events.

Through hands-on exercises, participants will have an opportunity to access and download GOES-R/JPSS satellite data products, as well as other products and models, to investigate case studies pertaining to rainfall and flood events.

The participants will come away with an enhanced understanding on how to generate and apply GOES-R and JPSS environmental satellite data products and models for monitoring and predicting rainfall and flood events in real-time situations.

Technology

  • Participants will need to bring their own device to utilize the tools and services that will be available during the hands-on exercises.
  • Participants will be provided access to online cloud services to access tools and run models.
