• MHS replaced AMSU-B• Field of View Size Change for HIRS• HIRS specific calibration and format

changes• AMSU-A specific calibration and

format changes• AVHRR specific format change• Other 1b/1b* format changes• New Telemetry data file

NOAA-N Changes

• MHS and AMSU-B Differences– Channels Frequency are Similar

Channels with different frequency» H2 and 17 » H5 and 20

– Number of warm target PRTs MHS has 5 AMSU-B has 7

– Different Algorithms for Calibration

– 1b/1b* format similar

NOAA-N Changes

• HIRS Issues– Field of View Size Change for HIRS

• HIRS/4 10KM FOV compared to HIRS/3 20KM FOV

– Patch Temperature changed from 100 to 95K– Added a 5th Internal Warm Target temperature

sensor and third telescope temperature sensor – Added extra bit to the electronic serial number in the

Digital A data stream Element 63 Bits 40-44 • Software change• Bits will be redefined in 1b

NOAA-N Changes

• HIRS Issues (Cont.)– Software Correction for the Operational HIRS

Lunar Intrusion detection– HIRS Calibration Algorithm Version 4.0

NOAA-N Changes

• AMSU-A Issues– Correction of Lunar contamination

• Minor change to 1b format– Header and Data record

– Correction for sudden jumps in the calibration counts (NOAA-17 Channel 3 anomaly)

• Minor change to 1b format– Header and Data record

NOAA-N Changes

• AVHRR Issues– Change to AVHRR Scaling Factors for

some of the AVHRR nonlinear radiance coefficients

– IR Operational/Test Cal Channel 4 coefficient 3

– IR Operational/Test Cal channel 5 Coefficient 3

NOAA-N Changes

• Other 1b/1b* Format changes– Additional Headers added

• Ancillary Data Set Names added• Quality Information added

NOAA-N Changes

• New Telemetry File– File will contain telemetry that is not

contained in instrument 1b• Will be useful for MIU data when in Non-

nominal modes• All telemetry data will now be archived

NOAA-N Changes

IJPS, IPSOverview of Upgrades for Metop

• New Ingestor and Front End Processor (FEP)– Ingest of common instrument data, from the

GDS as CCSDS VCDUs, in pipeline mode– Frame synchronizing and filtering of GDS data

at Ingest– Receipt and distribution of ASCAT, GOME

and GRAS Level 1b and IASI Level 1c products

– Ingest blind orbit GAC, in pipeline mode

IJPS, IPSOverview of Upgrades for Metop(Cont.)

• New Preprocessor– Processing on a distributed (scalable processor) AIX

(UNIX) platform for parallel operations– Preprocessing of blind orbit GAC in pipeline mode– Producing common instrument Level 1b’s from Metop

in pipeline mode– Producing new Level 1b’s for MHS and Full

Resolution GAC (FRAC)
