Harris/AER is currently implementing the AWG algorithms from Harris/AER is currently implementing the AWG algorithms from the ATBDsthe ATBDs

Harris/AER develop an algorithm design document from which Harris/AER develop an algorithm design document from which the software is developedthe software is developed

Harris/AER ask questions of the AWG for algorithm clarificationHarris/AER ask questions of the AWG for algorithm clarification

AWG answers the questionsAWG answers the questions» Fast turnaround is generally requiredFast turnaround is generally required» AWG has already answered over 1000 questionsAWG has already answered over 1000 questions

Through the process of answering the Harris/AER Through the process of answering the Harris/AER questions, occasional bugs are found in the questions, occasional bugs are found in the softwaresoftware

When bugs are fixed, the test data are regenerated When bugs are fixed, the test data are regenerated and redeliveredand redelivered

So far, Cloud, AAA, Soundings, and Imagery So far, Cloud, AAA, Soundings, and Imagery baseline algorithm base test data set have been baseline algorithm base test data set have been redeliveredredelivered
