5 Ongoing Activities NAVY interest in acquisition of INSAT-3D data for SST Indian National Satellite - 3D is a multi-purpose geostationary satellite that has the potential to extend high temporal-resolution geostationary SST coverage to the Indian Ocean/Arabian Sea region Successfully launched July 26, 2013 Requesting COPC partner assistance for access to data

Geostationary SST coverage COMS-1 128°E METEOSAT 0°E GOES WEST 135°W GOES EAST 75°W INSAT-3D 93.5°E

7 Ongoing Activities NAVY interest in acquiring OceanSat II data from NOAA for Ocean Color (The sensor is called OCM for Ocean Color Monitor) NAVO's Ocean Color mission is interested in getting the Level 1b top of atmosphere reflectances and/or Level 2 water leaving reflectances Requesting COPC partner assistance for access to data  FNMOC contacted NESDIS Satellite Products and Services Division, learned that only the Scatterometer level-1b and level-2 wind product will be pursued.  FNMOC currently acquiring via R&D STAR servers

8 Explore options for relay of data from potential MET-7 follow-on If EUMETSAT continues Indian Ocean coverage beyond MET-7 end of life, will likely replace with MET-8 (MSG) MSG is generational change in spacecraft over MET-7; higher data rate and different format will drive change data path/handling JAG/ODAA should begin assessment and planning efforts to ensure operational readiness  Bandwidth availability  Format encoders and decoders  Ingest into legacy and future applications Ongoing Activities

COPC Action Items GOES One-hour Winds Product (OPEN) COPC Action Item : Review and provide preferred priority of work associated with ESPC thaw with particular attention to the GOES experimental hourly winds. AWIPS Development team successfully tested 1h GOES Atmospheric Wind Vectors (AMVs) in the AWIPS environment April 22-26, /30/13 operational implementation was planned, but EMC detected date stamp problem; NESDIS resolved EMC detected time stamp problem; NESDIS resolved EMC noted discrepancy in AMV data counts; NESDIS resolved NCEP/EMC has submitted RFC to NCO for operational implementation NCEP to coordinate simultaneous operational production of 1h AMVs with NESDIS Anticipate completion in December 2013

16. Acquire pre-operational access to new METSAT data (OPEN) JCSDA partners test pre-operational data streams so that the permissions, protocols, and system adjustments for operations are well-understood and prepared for by the time the data become operational JCSDA partners test pre-operational data streams so that the permissions, protocols, and system adjustments for operations are well-understood and prepared for by the time the data become operational Early acquisition of METOP-B enabled Early acquisition of METOP-B enabled IT infrastructure and science tuning IT infrastructure and science tuning Bias corrections in forward modeling systems so that when the data was declared “Operational” systems were ready to use the data immediately. Bias corrections in forward modeling systems so that when the data was declared “Operational” systems were ready to use the data immediately. NESDIS has revised the satellite product request form (SDPR) to track these requests NESDIS has revised the satellite product request form (SDPR) to track these requests Next Step: Revised request form under review by OPCs Revised request form under review by OPCs JAG/ODAA Action Items

17. Data Bulletin Subscription Process (OPEN) Lack of awareness of bulletins available, especially new bulletins Lack of awareness of bulletins available, especially new bulletins OPCs have provided updated requirements to TOC (current and requested) for all specific bulletin types--TOC updated data flow to OPC distribution OPCs have provided updated requirements to TOC (current and requested) for all specific bulletin types--TOC updated data flow to OPC distribution The TOC is willing to accept OPC's as unofficial Data Collection or Production Centers (DCPC) and will investigate requirements for official nomination. DCPC "data harvesting“, from the new Data Access and Retrieval System (DAR), will allow OPCs to identify new and existing products. Currently, NCEP has been nominated. Need a central “go to” point for bulletin subscriptions Need a central “go to” point for bulletin subscriptions Short term: continue using TOC help desk procedures outlined on the JAG/ODAA web page: Short term: continue using TOC help desk procedures outlined on the JAG/ODAA web page: Long term: WMO Information System (WIS) Discovery Access and Retrieval (DAR-TOC) will provide this capability (worldwide 2015) Long term: WMO Information System (WIS) Discovery Access and Retrieval (DAR-TOC) will provide this capability (worldwide 2015) JAG/ODAA Action Items

19. Monitor/coordinate resolution of issues that arise due to WMO text to BUFR transition (BUFR migration) (OPEN) The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has changed the BUFR migration plan The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has changed the BUFR migration plan -- METAR, SPECI, TAF, and SIGMET products will not migrate to BUFR, but rather to XML format -- ICAO allows exchange of XML products starting Nov 2013 through bilateral agreements -- Mandated exchange in XML format by Nov Traditional Alphanumeric Code (TAC) products must continue to be transmitted until 2019 The oceanographic community continues to resist the transition to BUFR (as required by WMO for GTS).
