DR 4293 CrIMSS Surface Pressure Issue • JPL identified problem with surface pressure being too high relative to forecast surface pressure some time ago, but DR still open • Issue was discussed at EDR TIM on Monday June 10 • NGAS investigated what may have caused the issue using G-ADA • Generated and verified CrIS SDR geolocations • No error • Generated and verified terrain corrected GEOs • No error • Extracted and verified CrIS FOV terrain height and surface pressure information • No error • Examined how CrIS surface pressure is used by CrIMSS • Found error – CrIS surface pressure was adjusted again based • Fix is simple: comment out the call to perform the adjustment and use CrIS surface pressure directly

Height vs Pressure Scatter Diagram • ZsurfvsPsurf • They should have been highly anti-correlated
CrIS (FOV) Surface Height and Pressure Surface pressure interpolation and terrain height adjustment done correctly

Summary and Conclusion • CrIS SDR Geo and Terrain Correction were performed correctly • Surface pressure interpolated correctly from NCEP to CrIS FOVs, and terrain adjustment done correctly • CrIMSS algorithm has an error in using surface pressure and should be corrected • Fix: comment out the call to perform the adjustment in subroutine getNWP and use CrIS surface pressure directly
