21. 07 December 2015 Slide: 21 GSICS Instrument Event Log Activities: Past Efforts Feedback About Instrument Monitoring and Anomaly Reporting at Joint GRWG-IV/GDWG-III Workshop All GSICS partners shall propose contents of the performance monitoring pages which they intend to display on their own web sites. ACTION GDWG03_06  NOAA has up-and-running monitoring systems for GEO and LEO satellites  Attempts have been made during the course of 2009 to solicit instrument monitoring or anomaly information web sites from members  There has been a lack of response  The GCC would like a way forward for Action GDWG03_06.

22. 07 December 2015 Slide: 22 GSICS Instrument Event Log Activities: 17/02/2011 Web Meeting & 25/03/2011 Joint Meeting Clarified that this activity is related to an action on the GSICS Exec Panel from CGMS to "define what should be the key factors that need to be displayed in the GSICS Instrument Monitoring web sites". Resolved the initial requirements for the GSICS instrument event logs The GSICS instrument event logs for a given satellite instrument shall:  Provide sufficient information for the user to Gain awareness of anomalies, maneuvers and other events associated with that instrument Resolve, adapt to and/or mitigate errors in their data processing streams caused by these events  Not overwhelm the user with information that is not understandable (acronyms etc.).  Link to more details such as daily email notifications  Be hosted by each GPRC Action JOINT06_03 - Provision of a draft template for the instrument event log by 31 May 2011

23. 07 December 2015 Slide: 23  Each GSICS GPRC will us a web interface to created, archived, and disseminated provide information on instrument event and calibration updates.  Web page structure The front web page for these logs will allow users to link to the satellite and instrument for which they require information The back web pages will allow the users to access information to scheduled and anomalous instrument events and calibration updates that significantly affect data quality  The web pages are to be accessible, at minimum, to GSICS members  The dissemination of instrument information that violates the national export control laws of each participating GSICS member is discouraged GSICS Instrument Event Log Activities: GCC Proposed Concept of Operations

28. 07 December 2015 Slide: 28  Is the list of possible events or updates complete?  Is it possible to create an e-mail notification if significant events or calibration updates occur?  How do we acquire the information? Often this information may be buried in much longer reports that would have to be manually extracted to keep the event/calibration update logs up-to-date  Do we do this for historical instruments, or just moving forward?  Will we be competing with our own operational agencies in providing this service?  Is it even possible to make the event logs private to GSICS Members only, or do we even need this level of privacy? Instrument Event and Calibration Update Logs: Questions, Concerns, and Comments
