Proving Ground: Partners
The Proving Ground brings together NOAA and its partners to bridge the gap between research and operations and provide a rich source of information contributing to user education and training on GOES-R Series applications.
Formal GOES-R Proving Ground Partners
Formal Proving Ground Partners
The following map illustrates the Formal GOES-R Proving Ground Partners including Product Development Partners (denoted by a star, 
) and Evaluation Partners (denoted by a square, 
). The Formal Partners map has been updated with new criteria:
Formal Product Development Partners are GOES-R supported algorithm developers. A location is considered a Formal Evaluation Partner if:
- The office is included in a GOES-R Proving Ground Demonstration Plan, or
- The office has a current signed GOES-R Proving Ground WFO Evaluation Partner and Provider Agreement through the GOES-R Point of Contact for the evaluation (usually a Satellite Liaison) and the GOES-R Proving Ground Coordinator.
