Session 13A Advances in Satellite Usage for Weather Analysis and Forecasting

Thursday, 16 January 2020: 1:30 PM-3:00 PM
258A (Boston Convention and Exhibition Center)

Chair:
S. W. Bieda III, NWSFO, NOAA/NWS Amarillo, TX, Amarillo, TX

Description:

This session will be hosted by the 30th Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting (30WAF).  We welcome abstracts on the use of new satellite data (GOES-16, GOES-17, Himawari-8, Geostationary Lightning Mapper, etc.) and novel applications of pre-existing satellite data.
