What is the need?
• From 2003 Watch Warning Advisory (WWA) Evaluation– “Before software is released to the field, it
should be tested and approved by various field operators similar to the WSR-88D program. “
– “Prefer the much superior techniques developed by the WSR-88D program on how they install quality approved and tested software.”

Proving Ground Proving Ground
How can Satellite data/products be included?
- Get GOES/POES into Proving Ground
- Proving Ground at NOAA Coop Institutes (operational readiness of new hardware, software,
data)
- Use same system as NOAA Operations – AWIPS, Weather Event Simulator, GIS, etc.
- Key: Assess human factors/interface and performance
