  1. AMSR-E / AMSR2 Team Leader Science Computing Facility • Current Science Software • Science Software Updates • End of Mission Schedule • AMSR2 Team & Products

  2. Current Science Software • L2A Brightness Temperatures V12 • RSS V07 delivered to TLSCF - Jan 2013 • TLSCF integration • New ISO metadata • Updated ECS metadata • Documentation • New ESDT • New Reader • TLSCF delivered to SIPS June 2013 • There were 15 files that did not include equator crossing longitude and time in the metadata • Needed to pass QA • SIPS – GHCC (Beaumont) corrected these

  3. Current Science Software • L2B Ocean V07 • July 2010 • Updates to accommodate LANCE processing • Last algorithm updates • Version V05, April 2007 • Improved beamfilling correction to account for different footprint sizes of different frequencies • Include a new expression for the rain column height that yields more accurate rain flags

  4. Current Science Software • L2B Land V10 • July 2010 • Updates to accommodate LANCE processing • Last algorithm update • Version B03, June 2005 • Minor modification to the soil moisture QC

  5. Current Science Software • L2B Rain V11 • July 2010 • Updates to accommodate LANCE processing • GPROF 2010 delivered to the TLSCF (L2B Rain V12) • Expecting algorithm updates soon • Integrate new L2A reader • Add ISO metadata • Update ECS metadata • New ESDT • Update documentation

  6. Current Science Software • L3 Ocean V05 • July 2010 • Updates to metadata to accommodate LANCE processing • Last algorithm updates • Version V04, May 2010 • RIF Filtering • Update Aral Sea filters • Include the RFI angle grid in the product

  7. Current Science Software • L3 Land V07 • July 2010 • Updates to metadata to accommodate LANCE processing • Last algorithm update • Version B03, May 2005 • Correct grid projection parameters

  8. Current Science Software • L3 Snow V10 • August 2010 • Updates to metadata to accommodate LANCE processing • Last algorithm update • Version B05, November 2005 • Update the forest cover ancillary files. • The daily product retrievals are now performed on the AMSR-E individual Tb samples which are then averaged to the EASE-Grid 25x25 km northern and southern hemisphere projection grid. • Retrievals are calibrated for snow depth with a snow density climatology file used to convert snow depth to snow water equivalent.

  9. Current Science Software • L3 Rain V07 • April 2011 • Improved quality check on input data date • Last algorithm update V06, April 2008 • Skip duplicate (overlapping) scans in consecutive L2A files • Improve L2A Brightness Temperature binning for monthly ocean grids • Update the leap second ancillary file to include the leap second which occurred at the end of 2005 • Next update • Derived from L2B Rain as input (GPROF 2010) • Monthly • 0.25 degree resolution

  10. Current Science Software • L3 Sea Ice V14 • July 2012 • Update Southern Hemisphere sea ice mask using National Ice Center (NIC) data from June 2011 • Mask provided by NSIDC • The shoreline was developed from ENVISAT and RADARSAT imagery from OCT 2009 until APR 2010.

  11. Current Science Software • L3 Sea Ice V14 • Update to the algorithm to correct internal land / ocean flag that conflicted with the new sea ice mask • TLSCF integration in progress • New ISO metadata • Updated ECS metadata • Documentation • New ESDT • New L2A reader integration • Review by NSIDC and Science Team

  12.
