7. Preparing for 2010 Delivery  Conducted 13 Baseline Algorithm Readiness Review  Conducted 10 Option 2 Test Readiness Reviews  Reviewed 44 ATBDs  Wrote the AIADD 7

8. Accomplishments  Delivered ATBDs, Fire Algorithm Test data and Ice Concentration/Cover Test Data on October 1, 2010 »24 Baseline ATBDs »20 Option 2 ATBDs  Delivered test data set for 100% baseline algorithms and 80% Option 2 algorithms on December 1, 2010 »Cleanup up all the checksum issues by Dec 22 8

9. Option 2 Products: Current Status  Completed the 10 week data runs for the Option 2 algorithms – products have been available  Received version 4 Option 2 deliveries  Completed Option 2 algorithm Code Unit Test Reviews 9

10. Option 2 Products: Next Steps  Version 5 deliveries  Integration into the framework and test the outputs  Conduct ARRs and Visibility TRR  September 30 Delivery 10

11. Technical Interchange Meetings (TIM) with Harris and GSP  Harris/AER is currently implementing the AWG algorithms from the ATBDs  Harris/AER develop an algorithm design document from which the software is developed  Harris/AER ask questions of the AWG for algorithm clarification  AWG answers the questions »Fast turnaround is generally required »AWG has already answered over 1000 questions  This is an iterative process 11

12. Baseline Test Data Set Redelivery  Through the process of answering the Harris/AER questions, occasional bugs are found in the software  When bugs are fixed, the test data are regenerated and redelivered  So far, Cloud, AAA, Soundings, and Imagery baseline algorithm base test data set have been redelivered 12

13. Baseline Algorithm Validation  The baseline algorithm product teams are continuing to validate their algorithms  Routine Cal/Val Tools are being developed  ATBDs for the routine Cal/Val Tools will be delivered in September 2012 13

14. 14 Summary  Option 2 product ARRs will be completed by September 1, 2011  100% Option 2 ATBDs & Algorithm Packages will be delivered on September 30, 2010  80% ATBD and Algorithm Package for Visibility will be delivered on September 30, 2011  100% Option 2 ATBDs & Algorithm Packages for Rainfall Potential, Probability of Rainfall, and Visibility will be delivered on September 30, 2012  100% Routine Cal/Val Tool ATBDs for the Baseline Algorithms will be delivered on September 20, 2012
