  42. Section 3 – Operations Concept Presented byThomas King NUCAPS Lead Developer PSGS

  43. Operations Concept - Overview • Before requirements can be developed for a product and product system, the developers must know the intentions of the customers and/or users of the product. They must have the answers to the following questions: • Why is this product being produced? • How will this product be used? • How should this product be produced (operational scenario)? • The answers to the preceding questions should be derived from customer/user needs and expectations • Often, the customers/users will have documented their concept of operations in a ConOps document (see next slide) • Prior to the Development Phase, algorithm developers should interact with the potential customers/users to produce an initial algorithm theoretical basis that is consistent with their concept of operations • The operations concept is typically refined by the development team, in consultation with customers/users, as the product solutions and design are matured through the Design Development phase.

  44. NUCAPS Products Customers • The U.S. Customers are identified as the only requirements drivers for products in the NUCAPS Requirement Allocation. • NCEP/JCSDA • NRL/FNMOC • NASA/GMAO • NCDC/CLASS • Potential International Customers • EUMETSAT • UK Met Office • ECMWF • DWD • JMA • CMC • ABM

  45. NCEP/JCSDA: Why Are The Products Being Produced? • NCEP has requested a thinned CrIS SDR product: • Warmest CrIS FOV per FOR subset for ~600 channels picked by the NUCAPS development team (as was done for IASI) in BUFR. Here are the BUFR specifications: • CrIS radiances stored as 16 bits • Allow negative values of radiance • VIIRS derived cloud fraction on the CrIS FOVs • BUFR table must used delayed replication • CrIS radiances must be apodized (need to know what method was used) • Must be available within 3 hours of observation • How were these determined? • NUCAPS development team met with Jim Jung (JCSDA/NCEP) in October 2007 and asked him what variables are needed in the CrIS thinned radiance BUFR products. From this dialog, a table was developed and given to Jim Jung. • This product table was then circulated in an email from Jim Jung to Dennis Keyser, John Derber, and Paul Van Delst. • Steve Lord met with Jim Yoe. They refined an SPSRB NDE product table called “NPP Phase I Products – Re-formatting priorities for NCEP-EMC March 27 2008”. We obtained this from Tom Schott.

  46. The NCEP/JCSDA Thinned Radiance Product Content

  47. NCEP/JSCDA: How Will The Products Be Used? • Initially the JCSDA will conduct experiments to determine if use of the product increases forecast skill in the models. JCSDA goals: • Reduce from two years to one year the average time for operational implementation of new satellite technology • Increase uses of current satellite data in NWP models • Advance the common NWP models and data assimilation infrastructure • Assess the impacts of data from advanced satellite sensors on weather and climate predictions • After impact tests verify improved forecast skill, the data will be assimilated and used by NCEP forecast models.

  48. NCEP/JCSDA: How Should The Products Be Produced? (1) • Input Data will be the netCDF4 tailored from the NPOESS HDF5 files produced by the IDPS • CrIS SDR granules (netCDF4) • CrIS Geo SDR granule (netCDF4) • VIIRS Intermediate Cloud Product granules (netCDF4) • VIIRS Geo Intermediate Cloud Product granules (netCDF4) • Available production environments • NDE production will occur on IBM P570/P561 machines. • The system will initially by run by the NDE team during the NPP phase and then transitioned to operations (OSDPD) personnel.

  49. NCEP/JCSDA: How Should The Products Be Produced? (2) • Production and Delivery scenarios • The NUCAPS units will be scheduled, executed, and managed by the NDE Data Handling System (DHS). • All file handling will be conducted by the NDE DHS. • When a new CrIS granule arrives, the system will wait for all the associated data (matching in time). Then, the NDE DHS will run the NUCAPS software units. • The thinned radiance product will be generated by a Subsetter software unit to the specifications indicated in the BUFR table (shown earlier) by the NUCAPS software units as a netCDF4 file. • The NUCAPS team will develop the BUFR table, but the tailoring of the netCDF4 into BUFR will be performed by the NDE DHS (outside of NUCAPS) running the netCDF4-to-BUFR tailoring tool (also to be built at STAR, but not by this project). • Distribution will be managed by NDE through their distribution system. • The CrIS BUFR table (needed by BUFR users) will be made available to users through NDE.

  50. NRL/FNMOC: Why Are The Products Being Produced? • NRL/FNMOC has requested 3 products: • Warmest CrIS FOV per FOR subset for ~600 channels picked by the NUCAPS development team. The same specifications as those for the JCSDA/NCEP product were okay with them. • They also wanted ascending/descending status for each CrIS FOV • Principal components from the warmest CrIS FOV per FOR subset in 3-bands with 200 components/band (same as what they receive for IASI). netCDF4 is an acceptable format. • The NUCAPS Retrieval product (especially O3, N2O, HNO3, CO2, CH4, and SO2) in netCDF4. • Within 3 hours of observation. • They do not yet know how many number of levels they want. • How were these determined? • NUCAPS development team talked and emailed Ben Ruston (NRL) and YiPing Wang (FNMOC) several times throughout 2008 to determine which products and what content they will need. • They are happy to get the same BUFR content as JCSDA/NCEP.
