Scientific research and operational environmental services are profoundly affected by the introduction and application of new technologies and it seems as though these advances are now accelerating, challenging our community to constantly become better at what we do and to serve society in new and more powerful ways. We welcome two highly distinguished keynote speakers for our Presidential Forum and each will address the theme of our 92nd Annual Meeting from his and her uniquely personal perspectives.
9:15 AM
Welcoming remarks and introductions by Jonathan T. Malay, AMS President
10:10 AM
President Malay will then be joined by Mr. George J. Komar, Director, NASA Earth Science Technology Office, Science Mission Directorate, and they will briefly discuss their thoughts about changes in the AMS community’s technological capabilities and in society twenty years and more into the future. They will then engage with the audience in an interactive dialog which should be an exciting and stimulating exercise of envisioning our future.

NPP Launches on Earth Observing Mission -- Early On-Orbit Performance and Initial Results
Location: Room 343/344 (New Orleans Convention Center )
Host: 18th Conference on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography and Climatology/ First Joint AMS-Asia Satellite Meteorology Conference
11:15 PM
A major milestone for Earth science research and operational weather forecasting was achieved when NASA's NPOESS Preparatory Project spacecraft lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 5:48 a.m. EDT on Oct. 28, 2011 and was successfully inserted into its sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit . Following the spectacular launch, NASA began activating and checking out the spacecraft and instruments to begin its Earth observation mission. The instruments on board NPP build on technologies and science advances made through the flights of the EOS Terra, Aqua, and Aura flight missions. They include a 22-channel multi-spectral imager, VIIRS, with MODIS and SeaWiFS heritage; a hyperspectral infrared and microwave sounding suite, CrIS and ATMS; hyperspectral limb and nadir ozone monitor and profiler suite, OMPS; and a cloud, climate, and Earth's radiation budget sensor, CERES. A joint panel of NPP science team members and instrument/spacecraft designers will present and discuss the on-orbit performance of NASA's NPP spacecraft and its Earth observing instrument payload.
