ASSISTT R2O Tool: STAR Algorithm Processing Framework Zhuo Zhang 1,2, Mike Walters 1,2, Rickey Rollins 1,2, Shanna Sampson 1,2, Walter Wolf 2, Aiwu Li 1,2 1 IMSG, College Park, Maryland, NOAA/NESDIS/STAR, College Park, Maryland, Abstract The STAR Algorithm Processing Framework (SAPF) developed at NOAA/NESDIS/STAR is currently being used in transitioning algorithms to operations. The framework was designed and implemented as a plug-and-play type system for integration of scientific algorithms by enabling the algorithm to be developed and/or tested in both the framework and the scientist’s offline research system with little modification or addition to either system. Since the framework is an all-in-one system, it allows algorithms access to a variety of data sets with minimal effort once they have been integrated into the system. Many of the algorithms require external data from GFS model forecasts, SST analysis, and static data such as elevation and land surface type. A number of enterprise algorithms at STAR are taking advantage of these benefits and are being transitioned to operations.   JPSS Risk Reduction Products The JPSS Risk Reduction project includes eleven selected algorithms which produce total of twenty VIIRS products in three different product areas: Cloud, Aerosol, and Cryosphere. R2O in Framework Motivation US National Weather Service requests continuity of NOAA product between current and future NOAA operational satellites These projects demonstrate cost effective processing for NOAA JPSS products. They also support NOAA’s goal of enterprise solutions by employing the same algorithms for “POES” and “GOES”. This further assists in NWS OS&T implementation strategy of multi-sensor algorithms and products.
