CONTENTS
1) Synthetic Real-time GOES-R ABI imagery of the 4 km WRF-ARW at NSSL.
2) Synthetic GOES-R ABI 10.35 Tbs minus 12.3 Tbs and convective initiation.
3) Synthetic GOES-R ABI Natural Color imagery of smoke and ash.

• Daily forecasts from NSSL’s 4 km WRF-ARW is used to generate synthetic ABI imagery at 3.9, 6.95, 7.34, 8.5, 10.35, and 12.3 µm.
• The bands are simulated hourly from the 10 hr to the 36 hr forecast.
• Output is provided to the Storm Prediction Center in NAWIPS format, as well as several NWS offices
• Channel differencing: 8.5 – 10.35, 8.5 – 12.3, 10.35 – 12.3, and now 3.9 – 10.35.
Synthetic 10.35 µm band valid at 1800 UTC on 1 May 2010, based on an 18-hour forecast from NSSL’s WRF-ARW. The active convection forecast in Tennessee produced devastating flash flooding
