3 Ocean PEATE Overview The NPP Ocean PEATE will be implemented within the framework and facilities of the current NASA Ocean Data Processing System (ODPS) This system has been successfully supporting operational, satellite-based remote-sensing missions since 1996, and its capabilities continue to evolve and expand to meet the demands and challenges of future missions.

14 Building 28 Room W220 Computing Facility

15 Reliability and Redundancy
Critical components (database server, network systems) have full maintenance contracts to ensure rapid response to problems Multiple-server components (ingest, processing, storage, distribution) have substantial redundancy to maintain full capability; spares maintained for rapid replacement. Testing nodes are separated from mainstream production components.

16 Technology Refresh Hardware technology advances (CPU, storage) are continuously monitored to select new components for evaluation. Typical upgrade threshold is a doubling in capacity (~18 months). Two generations of hardware are generally in use. Candidate components are procured, installed in testing cluster and rigorously evaluated in a production-like environment. Following successful evaluation, multiple copies are procured, installed, tested and swapped in for older components. ODPS design allows new components to be rapidly added to resource tables without interrupting system operations. Performance of new components is closely evaluated following installation in operations environment. Critical components are run in parallel with existing system to ensure reliability under production loading.

37 VIIRS Ocean Products for Evaluation
All VIIRS Ocean products to be evaluated will be acquired from the IDPS, ADS/CLASS, or the I&TSE. Testing and evaluation of algorithm changes will require regenerating product time series in the I&TSE, to be downloaded to the Ocean PEATE. The Ocean PEATE will design changes to the code in the I&TSE for the purpose of algorithm improvement or problem resolution, develop appropriate test cases and request runs to verify and evaluate the changes.

45 Evaluation vs. Product Level
Granule-based Evaluations Level-1 (SDR) Evaluations Onboard calibration analyses Vicarious calibration Level-2 (EDR) Evaluations Matchup analyses Flag analyses Time Series Evaluations Residual detector (striping) and scan (RVS) dependence Level-3 Product Evaluations Sensor and algorithm comparisons Temporal anomaly evaluations

46 Vicarious Calibration
Vicarious calibration using surface measurements (e.g., MOBY) gives constant gain correction to TOA radiances over the mission Analyses of calibration results provide insight into temporal and geometric sources of variation.

47 Vicarious Calibration
Strengths: Fine-tuning of sensor absolute radiometric response; allows for correction of prelaunch radiometric calibration Limitations: “System-level” calibration that incorporates atmospheric correction into measurements, convolving algorithm and sensor effects. One-time gain correction per band for the entire sensor lifetime; assumes sensor stability has already been established through other means; not a substitute for lack of instrument characterization. Observation limitations and rigorous data quality control severely restrict the number of useful measurements (typically 1 or 2 per month per site). Specific to ocean algorithms, not applicable to other surface types. Availability of MOBY or equivalent is unknown for VIIRS.

48 Matchup Analysis Ocean data granules in ODPS catalog are automatically matched with in situ data SeaWiFS Bio-optical Archive and Storage System (SeaBASS) stores and manages in situ holdings from field programs and supported investigators. Ocean staff acquire, QC and analyze new data samples. Over 60,000 in situ profiles stored covering SeaWiFS/ MODIS time frame.

49 Matchup Process Flow Chart

50 Matchup Analysis Strengths:
The only truly independent validation of the science data products using ground truth measurements. Limitations: Quality of in situ data is highly variable and difficult to assess. Coverage for OC in situ data is limited, both geographically and temporally. Assumes that highly localized (~meters) measurements are representative of pixel (km) area. In situ measurements require discipline expertise to analyze and compare with satellite values Generally useful only for assessing static biases in final products. Availability of in situ data in VIIRS timeframe is unknown.

51 Flag Analyses Determine loss of coverage resulting from each flag
Verify effectiveness of flags at removing invalid or questionable data 50-meter depth Sensor zenith

52 Residual Detector Dependence
Level-3 multi-day products (same or different sensor) are resampled to generate values at Level-2 resolution. Comparisons are performed by detector and mirror side to evaluate residual detector response errors

53 Residual Scan Dependence
Level-3 multi-day products (same or different sensor) are resampled to generate values at Level-2 resolution. Comparisons are performed by pixel number and mirror side to evaluate residual response-vs-scan (RVS) errors

54 Residual Detector/Scan Dependence
Strengths: Provides evaluation of response vs. detector, scan angle and mirror side independent of onboard calibration. Can also be used to evaluate errors in other sensor characteristics Limitations: Works well mainly in temporally stable areas. Noise levels may be large compared with residual errors.

55 Level-3 Product Generation
Sensor, algorithm and interannual comparisons require Level-3 binned (equal-area) products. The Ocean PEATE is implementing software to process VIIRS EDRs to Level 3 binned products in current ODPS (SeaWiFS-like) format. Use current binning code with new input functions to read EDRs This will automatically provide the additional capabilities to produce multi-temporal composites, standard mapped image (SMI) products and Level-3 browse files. Time-series analyses of recommended algorithm changes will require reprocessing EDRs in the I&TSE.

56 Sensor and Algorithm Comparisons
Level-3 parameters (e.g., nLw) compared for common spectral bands Common bins extracted and compared over the period of overlap between the sensors Comparisons are performed globally (deep water, oligotrophic, mesotrophic, eutrophic), zonally and for specified regions.

57 Zonal Cross-Comparisons

58 Chlorophyll Image Comparisons
SeaWiFS Deep-Water Chlorophyll MODIS Deep-Water Chlorophyll SeaWiFS Deep-Water Chlorophyll MODIS Deep-Water Chlorophyll

59 Level-3 Comparisons Strengths:
Sensitive to small differences in products from different sensors or algorithms. Excellent coverage available, both temporal and geographic. Can assess continuity among data sets (Climate Data Records) Limitations: No obvious truth in comparisons. Sensitive to band-pass differences. May be affected by time-of-observation differences. Availability of other sensors for comparison (SeaWiFS or MODIS) is unknown; climatology is available as an alternative

60 Temporal Anomaly Evaluations
Level-3 global averages for the entire mission are fit to a periodic function to remove natural annual variability. The differences between the global averages and the annual cycle are then plotted over the mission. The results show both geophysical variations and any unexpected changes due to uncharacterized instrument effects or algorithm artifacts.

61 Temporal Anomaly Example

62 Temporal Anomaly Evaluations
Strengths: Very sensitive to small changes in sensor performance Limitations: Difficult to distinguish sensor from real geophysical changes. Can be affected by sampling variations.

63 Issues/Challenges/Concerns
Issue/Challenge/Concern Action/Mitigation Limits of available test data Ability to adequately test data flows across interfaces Verification of EDR evaluation processes VIIRS Ocean Science Team will develop an independent simulation of the VIIRS ocean bands Extent of prelaunch end-to-end (observatory & ground system) data flows Develop/maintain system readiness for testing opportunities ADS to PEATE interface and test planning Communication initiated, TIM planned Complexity of IDPS internal processes and data flows impacts ability to diagnose software and algorithm problems in the I&TSE Exercise in the I&TSE as possible Version synchronization of operational products with IDPS software in the I&TSE Coordinate software updates with I&TSE support staff SD3E to Ocean PEATE data transfers Performance improvements being worked on both sides IDPS file naming convention Attempt to get patch for I&TSE; develop workarounds for testing with SD3E
