Level 2 Ocean Salinity ProcessorProject Status 17 September 2008 Samantha Lavender Paul Spurgeon Caesar Mugerin
Project status • April 2008 start • Contract signed July 2008 • Target platform acquired September 2008 • ACRI-st to ARGANS transition activities: • May: science & software: documentation (ATBD, DPM...), processor architecture design & implementation, schema, L2 prototype GUI... • July: AlgoVal • September: End-To-End
Project status • AlgoVal meetings #10 (May) & 11 (July) & 12 • SMOS L2 OS web site transferred & updated • http://www.enviport.org:8080/argans/ • smos, sss2008 • includes builds, actions, change requests, & documentation databases • AlgoVal Plan & End-To-End analysis
Towards V4 • Operational Processor clean build for V3+ • Code & DPM review, bug fixes (full pol, convergence algorithm, Stokes vector error) • new prototype processor for ESLs • Updated documentation & SVVP
Proposed format changes • SPH quality information • classify grid points by geophysical characteristics • for each class, collect a set of values describing retrieval quality: • number flagged as poor quality, failing for specific reasons, successes, average sigma • AGDP bias/sigma & priors LUT re-specification • Tb/sigma model specification? • Tb full covariance matrix specification?
