Revised Governance
Basic Research Applied Development Operational Deployment
Technical Readiness Levels
Simplified Proposal Requirements
Process Accommodates Multiple Pathways
Candidates Demonstrate TRL 8/9 for ORE
Projects Approved via AOP Process
1-minute Satellite Imagery Impact Evaluation
Operational Impact Evaluation GoalsAssess the Usefulness of High Temporal ResolutionSatellite Imagery/Products in NWS WFO Operations
• Ability to Assimilate Data for Decision Making• Variety of Analysis, Forecasting, Warning Tasks• For What Tasks is 1-Min Imagery Most Valuable?• Training Needed to Prepare Forecasters for Day 1• Identify Potential Workload, Work Flow Issues
