AWG Proxy Data Team

The AWG Proxy Data Team is comprised of experts from STAR, STAR Cooperative Institutes, and NASA that together, brings a full range of capabilities and datasets needed by the AWG Application and Development Teams. The AWG Proxy Team is responsible for:

• The development of high-quality GOES-R instrument simulated and proxy data sets for GOES-R product algorithm development, testing and validation
• The development of advanced tools that include Radiative Transfer Models and simulation systems that span scales from the mesoscale to the global scale
• Some of proxy data were matched with in-situ and are well prepared for GOES-R Cal/Val analysis
• The development of datasets containing proxy data collocated in time and space with in-situ observations needed for Cal/Val analysis activities undertaken by the AWG product application teams

Simulated GOES-R ABI proxy data is generated daily at UW-CIMSS. The most recent datasets using the WRF-CHEM can be found at this link.
