ASPB members are the dominant contributors to the algorithm development within the GOES-R Cloud Application Team.
Only the nighttime cloud optical properties is being developed by someone outside of ASPB. (P. Minnis, NASA/LARC)
ABI does offer enough spectral, spatial improvements over current GOES to warrant significant algorithm development.
Much of the Cloud Application Team’s approaches are new and offer concrete advances over the heritage approaches. We expect to publish much of this over the next year or two.
The cloud team was the first team to deliver the second version to the AIT. The total code is approximately 10,000 lines long.
The cloud team undergoes a critical design review next month.
Within GEOCAT, all cloud team algorithms can run a fulldisk SEVIRI image in under 5 minutes (including all calibration, geolocation and i/o).
