The purpose of the project is to develop and evaluate algorithm for ABI 0-2 hour CI now casting product generation and provide science codes to the algorithm integrate team (AIT) for software implementation and process demonstration. We plan to use locally available hardware resources initially for software testing, with phased transition to a collaborative test bed environment as it comes online. The proxy data will leverage off of existing imagery from GOES and especially from MSG/SEVERI via collaborative with EUMETSAT. Only a pre-development effort was supported in 2007, with a full spin-up expected during this funding period. Much of the code and initial documentation is completed. University of Alabama is the only known source to NOAA.
