Declaring NPP Products Operational SPSRB Process Improvement Working Group (SPI WG) Briefing February 24, 2012
JPSS Coord WG Action Item • AI 11-003: OSPO/OSD/STAR to ensure a process and schedule exist for declaring NPP products operational • POC: OSPO/OSD/STAR • Due date: 31 Jan 2012
Outline • Satellite Product and Services Review Board (SPSRB) Overview • Declaring Products Operational • NPP Product Maturity Levels • NPP Data Algorithm Maturity Matrix • Key Milestones in NDE to ESPC Transition Plan • Discussion on disconnect between NCEP and NDE operational planning dates • Backup slides • NPP Operational Planning Dates for Products • NPP Algorithm Maturity Matrix
SPSRB Background • SPSRB is the NESDIS body responsible for the oversight and guidance to effectively manage the satellite product life cycle process from product development, transition into operations, enhancements and retirement • SPSRB Executive Board: • Co-chaired by the STAR and OSPO Directors • Principal voting members: OSD, STAR and OSPO Directors, OSPO Deputy Director, NESDIS Data Centers and NWS • SPSRB • Co-chaired by OSPO and STAR Deputy Directors • Principal members: STAR, OSD, OSPO, NESDIS Data Center and NWS • Meets 3rd Wed of Every Month – WWB room 707 • SPSRB Manager: Dave Donahue (OSPO) • SPSRB Secretary: Richard Schreitz (OSPO) • SPSRB Process Improvement Working Group (SPI WG): Benner, Renkevens, Irving, Schreitz, Donahue, Rokke, Maturi, Schott
SPSRB Decision Briefing Templates • http://projects.osd.noaa.gov/spsrb/briefing_temps.htm • Proposal for Product Development • Project Plan • Declaring a Product Operational Guidance can be found on the note pages on each slide
Declaring a Product Operational • All “New” satellite products are briefed to the SPSRB and the SPSRB determines if the product is ready for operations • New Product - a new environmental observation parameter derived from an existing or new satellite sensor • Declaring Product Operational Decision Briefing Template found at http://projects.osd.noaa.gov/spsrb/briefing_temps.htm • Template updated to include “For new NPP products include a short quality assessment from the STAR cal/val lead”
NPP Product Maturity Levels • NESDIS does not use NPP product maturity levels • SPSRB uses Developmental, Pre-operational and Operational product status • JPSS believes Centrals should establish a process for declaring operations; may be different criteria between Centrals Ready for ops??
Data Algorithm Maturity MatrixATMS Example As of Nov 2011: needs updating due to delays resulting from VIIRS Anomaly • NDE and ESPC transition plan baselined to declare initial operations in July 2012 • Includes ATMS radiances in BUFR • If Provisional stage adequate for operations, no problems • If Validation 1 stage is needed for operations, then a slip in a calibration update could impact our plans to operationalize ATMS in Jul 2012 • SPSRB brief to declare products operational will include an operational readiness assessment from the STAR cal/val lead
Key Milestones in NDE to ESPC Transition Plan • * Feb 2012: NDE Production Environment Integration completed • * Mar 2012: Publish annual update of ESPC System Security Plan (SSP) to include NDE as part of Continuous Monitoring; NDE Production Environment authorized to distribute under existing ESPC ATO • * Apr 2012: System operator and network administrator training begins, to include interim error response and monitoring procedures until monitoring tool build in 2013 • Jul 2012: OSPO begins 24x7 system operator support • Jul 2012: Initial NDE products released for operations * Delays in acquiring production hardware will impact these dates. Updates to transition plan are being examined.
NCEP and NDE Ops Disconnect • NCEP working to get ATMS data into models in Apr/May 2012 • NESDIS plan is to declare initial operational capabilities at Jul 2012 SPSRB • Options • NCEP accept NESDIS operational shortfalls until Jul 2012 and still press forward with their plans • Similar 24x7 support shortfalls exist when NCEP uses EOS and other non-NOAA satellite data for operations • NESDIS will not have production machines in place • NDE test machine has support to NCO isolated from other test activities • ESPC accelerate 24x7 operational support • Still have other shortfalls (e.g., lack of production IT machines, etc.)
