  1. OPC Anticipated Operational Impacts During NESDIS CIP InvocationFall 2009 CSAB Meeting Allan Darling

  2. NAVO • MCSST processing will be minimally impacted during the time it takes the CIP to activate and provide the necessary 1b data to NAVO (less than 48 hours) • Altimetry processing will be impacted in that delayed JASON‐2 OGDR product delivery will adversely affect the wind/wave products we deliver to our customers • Optics processing will be completely disabled as CIP does not support MODIS data • If CIP were made a hot backup the only mitigation would be for the minimal impact to MCSST processing

  3. NCEP • Model output degraded until CIP Phase 2 • AMSU-A 1b Sounder Brightness Temperatures • AMSU-b 1lb Sounder Brightness Temperatures • MHS 1b Sounder Brightness Temperature • HIRS-3 1b Sounder Brightness Temperatures • HIRS-4 1b Sounder Brightness Temperatures • 1x1 Field-of-View Cloud Data (Cloud Top Pressure, Temperature) • Model output degraded • AIRS amd AMSU-A Every Field-of-View 1b Sounder Brightness Temperatures • 1x1 Field-of-View Satellite Soundings, Retrievals, Level 1c Sounder Brightness Temperatures

  4. AFWA • Indirect impact since the UKMO model is the model of consistency. UKMO uses the following: • NOAA IR and microwave radiances (HIRS and AMSU) • DMSP microwave radiances (SSMI and SSMIS) • Aqua IR radiances (AIRS) • GOES-11 and -12 geostationary atmospheric motion vectors • Terra and Aqua polar atmospheric motion vectors • QuikSCAT and Coriolis scatterometer sea surface winds • Snow-cover analysis • NOAA vis and IR imagery (AVHRR) • Will not receive lightning and radar data via NOAAPort • Models utilize many sources of data to include NOAA polar orbiter-based microwave imaging data, high density GOES imagery as well as MODIS data. Loss of this data will degrade the performance of many AFWA-based models

  5. AFWA • Phased return of NESDIS products result in degraded production • Would not have a means of discriminating volcanic ash vs cloud/steam (MODIS is the best tool to use for this purpose - would like to see this added to the Phase 1-2 list as appropriate)

  6. AFWA • Following items in Phase 1.5 will affect operations. • GFT (software) • IASI (data) • GRAS (data) • ASCAT (data) • GOME (data) • Major impact would be to the global model which in turn will degrade the regional models based on the outage time

  7. AFWA • Following items in Phase 2 will affect operations • QuikSCAT • AVHRR (GAC/LAC/HRPT) • AMSU (A/B) • Level 1b • TRMM • Family of Services? • Ingest • QuikSCAT (Level 2a/Level 2b?) • QuikSCAT Ambiguity (Level 2a/Level 2b?) • Loss of these data can be assessed as moderate impact

  8. AFWA • Following items in Phase 3 will affect operations • Polar Winds • Outage will affect global model output and in turn impact the regional model output

  9. AFWA • “The Following Applications Will Not Be Supported at the CIP Facility”, these items will affect operations. • ASCAT • IASI • MODIS • MODIS Lite • ASCAT and IASI would affect the WRF model and loss of MODIS would impact CDFS-II • Impact of these outages would be mitigated by the use of other data • Loss of ASCAT and IASI would have a greater impact on the global model which in turn impacts the regional model
