The GOES-R Aviation Algorithm Working Group was formed in November 2006 to assess meeting aviation-related requirements as defined in the GOES-R Mission Requirements Document. A suite of experimental products are in development and are being evaluated to assess meteorological hazards to aircraft in flight derived from the current generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) and European SEVIRI imager data. The specific GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) measurement requirements relating to satellite-based aviation hazard derived products are fog, aircraft icing, microbursts, turbulence, SO2, volcanic ash, convective initiation, and enhanced-v/overshooting top detection. The GOES-R Aviation AWG is tasked to adapt the current suite of experimental and operational aviation product algorithms, with modifications and enhancements, for the GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). This presentation will overview the aviation requirements being addressed and progress toward making them GOES-R ready for an anticipated 2014 launch.
