  4. Data Levels and Processing EPS/Metop Measurement GRAS SAF Level 1b -> Level 2 Processing, Dissemination, Archiving, ... End Users Level 2 Data: Refractivity, pressure, temperature, and humidity profiles, Validation Data ... Raw Data Downlink Level 1b Data: Bending Angles, Impact Parameters, Auxiliary Data, ... Level 1a Data: Phase Delays, Doppler Shifts, SNR, Earth Location Data, ... Level 0 Data: Phase and Amplitude Data, Tracking and Ancillary Data, Ground Site Data, ... High-latitude Downlink Site Demultiplexing, Quality check EPS Core Ground Segment Level 0 -> Level 1a Processing Level 1a -> Level 1b Processing

  7. GRAS SAF Products Time Requirements Near-Real Time Products: (NRT) Offline Products: To be delivered less than 3 hours after measurement, using RMDCN (Regional Meteorological Data Communication Network), GTS, a.o. Mainly for NWP use. Improved products re-processed using precise satellite orbits, additional NWP input, etc. To be delivered less than 30 days after measurement, using FTP, DVD/CD-ROM, WWW download, a.o. Mainly for climate research use.

  9. GRAS SAF Products Overview • Data Product Characteristics • Bending Angle Profile (Offline only) Bending angle as a function of impact • parameter • Refractivity Profile Neutral Refractivity as a function of height and location of the occultation • Observation Error profile and covariance matrices of the observables. • Characteristics Time information for the occultation data. • Latitude, longitude and radial position of the occultation • products in geodetic coordinates. • Temperature Profile Temperature (dry/wet) and error estimate as a function of • height and location of the occultation • Specific Humidity Profile Specific humidity (water vapor) and error estimate as a function of height and location of the occultation • Pressure Profile Dry pressure and error estimate as a function of height and • location of the occultation, including surface pressure • Surface Pressure (NRT only) Pressure estimate at surface level

  10. GRAS SAF Assimilation S/W Products Statistically optimal 1D-Var refractivity retrieval code Forward models for 4D-Var: - Direct assimilation of refractivity profiles into an NWP model - Plane-averaged refractivity forward model for assimilation into an NWP model - Direct assimilation of bending angle as a function of impact parameter into an NWP model
