The COMET Virtual Classroom

This 3-day workshop is designed primarily for forecasters and Service Hydrologists. It will look into the hydrologic processes of flash floods and the current state of the art with respect to Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE).

Presented by the GOES-R and JPSS Programs, the NOAA Satellite Science Week Virtual Meeting will be held 18 – 22 March, 2013. This meeting will be offered as an entirely web-based virtual event. 

Science Week is a joint meeting and review of the GOES-R Algorithm Working Group, the GOES-R and JPSS Proving Grounds and Risk Reduction Science activities, and satellite training. The goal is to promote interchange between product developers and the user communities, ensuring a path for the transition of research to operations and user readiness.

During the week of the Symposium, online live presentations will be offered in sessions organized by topic area. After registering for the overall event, you will have the chance to register for specific topic sessions that interest you. There will also be “Virtual Posters” available for viewing on the web site and the opportunity to discuss some of these with their authors during live sessions.
