Presented at AMSR Science Team Meeting September 23-24, 2014 AMSR2 NRT Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) Helen Conover Information Technology & Systems Center The University of Alabama in Huntsville

Is part of NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) data/about-lance Initiated and sponsored by NASA in 2009 to ensure the availability of NASA satellite data products to those partners who have grown to rely on those data for their decision support systems Provides Near-Real-Time (NRT) EOS data products within 3 hours of satellite observation with high availability Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) LANCE Data contributed to the successful forecast of hurricane Sandy 9/25/14 – 9/26/14User Working Group Meeting2

Approach Leverage as fully as possible the LANCE AMSR-E hardware and software architecture o Ingest from JAXA, rather than NASA GSFC EDOS Preliminary AMSR2 science algorithms provided by the US AMSR2 Science Team Processing automation software will be very similar, but require changes to accommodate new file names, etc. Documentation, including metadata and quality assessment, will require updates to accommodate differences in instrumentation Implement new requirements per 423-RQMT-002 o Integrate with the ESDIS URS4, including HTTPS access o Register data granules within EOS Clearing House and Common Metadata Repository 9/23/145AMSR Science Team Meeting

AMSR2 NRT Products 9/23/146AMSR Science Team Meeting Integrated the GPROF2010 (GSFC Profiling) retrieval code for a near real time AMSR2 precipitation and non-raining parameters product into the SIPS production environment. The algorithm has been compiled with GFortran on a 64-bit LINUX system and produces the same results as the CSU-provided binary sample files Next efforts are to define requirements and implement metadata and GIBS browse. GSFC Profiling Algorithm (GPROF2010) for precipitation and ocean parameters GSFC Profiling Algorithm (GPROF2010) for precipitation and ocean parameters JAXA Level-1R (HDF5) Level-2 Rain-Ocean Product (HDF-EOS5)

AMSR2 NRT Products (2) Integrated the preliminary AMSR2 snow water equivalent (SWE) algorithm into the SIPS production processing system. The algorithm has been compiled with GFortran on a 64-bit LINUX system and produces the same results as the CCNY-provided binary sample files Next efforts are to define requirements and implement metadata and GIBS browse. 9/23/147AMSR Science Team Meeting Preliminary AMSR2 SWE Algorithm (AMSR-E SWE) Preliminary AMSR2 SWE Algorithm (AMSR-E SWE) JAXA Level-1R (HDF5) Level-3 Snow Product (HDF-EOS5)
