D. Hillger and B. Motta participated in a COMET Executive Board teleconference to brief Mary Glackin on the RAMM team’s involvement in training activities at COMET and with the VISIT project. Among the items discussed were strategic planning, NESDIS/NWS interactions, and the best use of training resources in an era of tremendous growth in the satellite community.  Satellite programs covered included GOES, POES, and NPOESS.

B. Motta participated in a conference call with COMET and WDTB to discuss building cases for the Warning Event Simulator.  A few cases will be created by the WDTB from those used in current Warning Decision Making workshops. Other possible cases for FY02 include a winter storm case.  The instruction related to the cases was also discussed.

J. Weaver designed a COMET presentation on using satellite data in the Warning Decision Making Process.  The presentation was taught four times this fiscal year as a part of the COMET, weeklong WDM class.
