Milestone 1. Procure SeaPRISM system. We Initiated procurement of the SeaPRISM in July 2009. The S PRISM d li d t OSU D b 1 2009 ThSeaPRISM was delivered to OSU December 1, 2009. The SeaPRISM was set up and we completed acceptance testing of the SeaPRISM in early December 2009. Completed.

Milestone 2. Send the SeaPRISM system to the AERONET project at GSFC for filters and calibration. Brent Holben at the AREONET project at GSFC agreed to add the SeaPRISM to the AERONET program We delivered the SeaPRISM to Alexthe AERONET program. We delivered the SeaPRISM to Alex Tran at AERONET and the correct filters have been installed and it has been calibrated by GSFC. Received it at OSU on March 3, 2010. Completed. p

Milestone 3. Receive the GSFC calibrated SeaPRISM back at OSU, set it up and test operations and data stream. We are adding a ruggedized PC and modifying the SeaPRISM for


are adding a ruggedized PC and modifying the SeaPRISM for use over the internet. Task to be completed by the end of March 2010. In Progress.

Pacific Energy operates Platform Eureka. They provide boat access twice daily. They have offered to provide us 110V power and 50mb/sec internet access with a fixed IP address.

The location (yellow circle) on the platform appears to be excellent for SeaPRISM measurements which are taken to the south and west of the platform.

Field of Regard:

Burt Jones and collaborators make extensive in situ measurements in thismeasurements in this area using moorings, gliders and cruises that will provide essential ancillary data for this effort.

Milestone 6. Develop methods for validation of VIIRS data with SeaPRISM data. (report). Efforts focused on geolocation of in situ data sets and matching up in situ and satellite data. We will begin using VIIRS proxy data from NRL p g g p ySSC when it becomes available. In Progress.

FY 10- MILESTONES (Deliverables) Plans

• Milestone 7 Routine operation and maintenance of the SeaPRISM systemMilestone 7 Routine operation and maintenance of the SeaPRISM system for the year. (Deliverable – data to AERONET and for VIIRS cal/val.) Scheduled to begin in April 2010.

Mil t 8 S d th S PRISM t GSFC f l i t d• Milestone 8 Send the SeaPRISM to GSFC for annual maintenance and recalibration (Deliverable - calibration update). Scheduled for March 2011.

• Milestone 9 Demonstrate validation of VIIRS proxy data products using the SeaPRISM data (Deliverable - demo and report) Scheduled for winter 2011.

Summary : Impact of Deliverables on Program: This site will provide a West Coast SeaPRISM, coastal validation site for VIIRS d t th t i dil ibl d f hi h dditi l b tidata that is readily accessible and for which additional corroborative measurements can be provided from ships moorings and gliders.Role of the milestones on IPO efforts (SDR/ EDR): SeaPRISM data and related ancillary data will be essential for validating VIIRS Remote Sensing reflectanceancillary data will be essential for validating VIIRS Remote Sensing reflectance and chlorophyll and other data products.Role of efforts on other partners: Collaborating with Ahmed, Arnone, Trees and Fargion to share experiences operating the SeaPRISM and sharing results and g p p g gprocedures for using the SeaPRISM data and ancillary data to validate satellite ocean color data products (MODIS, MERIS, VIIRS Proxy and HICO data, and after launch VIIRS data).Relationship to VIIRS Launch Schedule: The SeaPRISM will be installed and we will have 1 year experience operating it and validating Proxy VIIRS data products before the NPP launch. Thus we will be ready to use this data for validation of VIIRS Rrs and other products


be ready to use this data for validation of VIIRS Rrs and other products immediately after launch.
