Training Plans OverviewPlans in development through NWS Regions,Centers and SOO/DOH Satellite Training Team Pre-launch Information Short Training Baseline Training SOO/DOH – Science Infusion Week Ongoing Just-in-Time Training & Resources Integration into Forecast & Warning Operations
Pre-Launch Information Start 6 months before launch1-2 min information “teasers”Intro examples to set baseline understandingYoutube type examples on ApplicationsBuild upon existing Youtube satellite videos
Science Infusion Week SOOs/DOHs 1 week residence workshop Focus on integrating new data & emerging scienceto improve science of WRN message Focus on evolving forecast & warning process assatellite data are used in high resolution rapidrefresh models Monthly Follow up sessions on science sharingand operational cases by SOOs/DOHs Management support from NWS Regions, HQ,Chief Learning Office & NESDIS
Just-In-Time Training Start once GOES-R data available on AWIPS II. Training Partners serve as GOES-R Help Deskfunction via email/chat/FAQs - Real-timeaccess to an expert – daily (24x7) Partners host “Storm of the Month” webinarsin-depth review of recent cases Host collaborative environments involving endusers and developers (e.g., consolidated blog) Develop searchable on-line library of trainingmodules, blogs, FAQs, and resources (ESRC)

Satellite Liaison Perspective onForecaster Training for GOES-R
Effective GOES-R Training Practices – National Centers All (almost) forecaster training is in person, either individually or insmall groups (3-5 analysts/forecasters). Products that are identified have immediate benefit to NCEP Center. Presentations (20-25 minutes) and quick guides are created thatinclude relevant product examples for each NCEP Center. Interactions with forecasters are ongoing after training is completeto – Keep dialogue going between SME and forecasters– Show additional real-time examples (2-minute case studies) Satellite Liaison has a consistent presence in operations tocontinuously familiarize forecasters to GOES-R capabilities.
Effective GOES-R Training Practices – Weather Forecast Offices All (almost) forecaster training is remote (e.g., live teletraining). Live teletraining is offered to the WFO(s) and given by Satellite Liaisonor the product developer. A recorded version of the live teletraining or prerecordedArticulate/VISIT version is provided to the WFO(s). Supplemental resources (e.g., quick guide or blog), if available, areprovided to the WFO(s). Satellite Liaison is a resource and SME to the WFO(s).
How Should NWS Users Be Trained? In-residence Satellite SMEs (i.e., SOO and Satellite FP) for eachWFO/NCEP Center Dual-Pol Style Course for GOES-R (multi level)1. Core Set of Articulate Presentations– (20-30 minutes each)– Advanced Baseline Imager– Geostationary Lightning Mapper– Application/Track Centric(Convection, Winter Storms,Low Clouds and Fog,Fire Detection)
How Should NWS Users Be Trained?2. Video Blog Posts of Near Real Time Events – YouTube Channel– Just-In-Time Training.4-6 minutes or even lessh/t Dan Bikos (CIRA)

Training Resources Need to be multi leveled and include training in person by the Satellite FP.– “Dual-Pol Style” Course– Real-time One-On-One Training.SME/forecaster interactions– Inter-Office Mentoring.forecasters teach each other (i.e., situationaltraining) include product background information with strengths/weaknesses. have relevant (i.e., regional) examples and product verification. show how GOES-R incorporates with tools forecasters currentlyuse.data fusion. show how GOES-R makes forecaster decision making easier. incorporate Decision Support Service examples. .be incorporated into AWIPS-2.
