Status of Operational Implementation of MIRS V2.0 at OSDPD Limin Zhao, Aiwu Li and Jiang Zhao April 18, 2008
MIRS V2.0 Operational Configuration • Single orbit mode with Chop/Merge option on • Real-time job trigger mechanism under OPUS • Integrated with the MIRS Operational Post-Processing (MOPP) • Integrated with the Web-based tools for product quality, generation, dissemination and timeliness monitoring
MIRS Operational Post-Processing • Data Format Conversion > Operational products only: T(z) (ocean), q(z) (global), TPW (global), CLW (ocean), LST & LSE (land), snow cover (land), SWE (land), sea ice concentration (ocean) > No extra flags are added, but providing QC guidance to users. > HDF-EOS only • Grid Analysis Module > 0.5x0.5 Cylindrical map > 1/16 mesh PS map > NOAA-18 and MetOP blended products > Time series for monitoring • Global Composite for McIDAS and AWIPS users
Operational Configuration Management • Transition Cycle: unit test, stress/integration test and operational promotion Dev: North; Parallel: Emerald; Operation: Diamond • RCS Repository • Documents: ICD, SSD, UM, SMM and OM updated to fit the operational version of MIRS.
Operational Monitoring and Maintenace • Web-based QC monitoring with cross reference to the STAR MIRS page. http://www.osdpd.nesdis.noaa.gov/PSB/mirs • Web-based tools for monitoring the real-time product generation, dissemination and timeliness http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/MIRS/MIRS_monitor.html • 24/7 operational maintenance
Dissemination and Archive • Historical MIRS data files can be query from CLASS/NCDC > CLASS ID for MIRS orbital products: MIRS_ORB > Searchable by Temporal, Satellite, DataType and Format > File name convention Products separated into SND and IMG files with the following name convention: NPR.ProjID.Vv.PType.InstrumIDOP.SatID.DYYDDD.SHHMM.EHHMM.OrbNum.NS.fortmID i.e.: NPR.MIRS.V2.SND.AAMH.NN.D07225.S1123.E1256.B2657999.he4 NPR.MIRS.V2.IMG.AAMH.NN.D07225.S1123.E1256.B2657999.he4 • Data Submission Agreement Updated to include MIRS new products fro each delivery. Products not operational available now are hidden with -888 in the SND and IMG files • Metadata Updated to include MIRS new productsfor each delivery. • Users are kept updated with CLASS news for each deliver MIRS Upgrade: The Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MIRS) was recently upgraded from v1.0 to v2.0 with the following new capabilities: moisture profiles extended over non-coastal land, total precipitable water extended over non-coastal land, cloud liquid water over ocean, snow cover, sea ice concentration and snow water equivalent.

Status of the Operational MIRS v2.0 • Implemented into operation on March 31, 2008 • 24/7 support on the N18 and MetOp-A orbital products in HDF-EOS format • The CLASS DSA is being updated for MIRS v2.0 • The CLASS Metadata is being updated for MIRS v2.0 • The MIRS grid analysis processing modules are developed, and is under evaluation • Precipitation and surface products with a MSPPS counterpart, such as, TPW, CLW, Snow Cover…, are generated routinely on the 0.5x0.5 cylindrical and 1/16 mesh PS projections for validation purposes. • Capability to generate the blended MIRS products from N18 and MetOp is under development • The TPW composite is made available on McIDAS for SAB users, and is under evaluation
Implementation Feedback • In general, the MIRS v2.0 implementation goes smoothly. The delivered DAP is much more mature than the previous versions • The delivery memo provides useful information regarding to the changes in the software package, product upgrades, etc. • There are still a few minor problems/improvements identified, and will provide off-line. • The DAP package contains a large amount of unused data files as well source code programs, which slow down the implementation and increase the implementation cost. Recommend/required to deliver: > a clean version of DAP or > Identify in the memo the un-used directories and files.
Some Thoughts on Future Delivery • System Readiness review: robustness - re-run problematic orbits to confirm all problem identified in the operation are solved. • Product Quality readiness review > validation results, including improvement from version to version against a baseline validation set > Improvements/impacts of the changes with the updated version > Recommendation for operational implementation
