Aquarius Level-2 Product Content • As decided at the last workshop, this will actually be a combined Level 1B / Level 2 product. • The draft product specification consolidates parameter lists from the radiometer and scatterometer teams. • Specific parameters to be output are configurable at runtime. • Parameters are output per beam and block (1.44 sec) • All output products include standard metadata, flags and masks and geolocation fields.
Today’s Objectives • Agree (for now at least) on the list of output parameters and the list and format of the flags and masks. • Set target dates for incorporating all outputs into Level 1A-to-2 processing software • Start the process of collecting additional information (units, valid ranges) needed for the format specification.
Proposed Flags and Masks • Radiometer RFI flags to be stored in a byte array with dimensions of (blocks x beams x polarizations x subcycles) with 1 bit for each of the 5 signals in the subcycle. • Scatterometer RFI flags to be stored in a byte array with dimensions of (blocks x beams x subcycles) with 1 bit for each of the 6 signals in the subcycle. • Processing flags and masks to be stored in a byte array with dimensions of (blocks x beams) with 1 bit for each condition (e.g., land).
