Speaker: Jorel Torres, RA3: JPSS Satellite Liaison

About the webinar: The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) constellation has three polar-orbiting satellites that currently orbit and provide environmental monitoring across the globe. But how do users access the data online? This presentation will primarily focus on the CIRA SLIDER – JPSS Northern Hemisphere sector, which has been available for users to access near-real-time satellite imagery online for several years. An online demonstration of the web application will be provided. Additionally, JPSS training resources and materials will also be showcased to assist users in the interpretation of the imagery and products.

Bio: Torres is an RA3: JPSS Satellite Liaison who works at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA), collocated with Colorado State University (CSU). Torres liaisons between the National Weather Service (NWS) user community and research/training communities and focuses on JPSS products, applications, data access, satellite training development, and the collection of user feedback.
