This is a page to keep tabs on MERRA2 tasks that need to be performed.

Files to be updated

  • gmao_global_satinfo.rc
  • gmao_global_scaninfo.rc
  • gmao_global_pcpinfo.rc
  • gsi.rc.tmpl
  • GSI_GridComp.rc.tmpl
  • all *.arc
  • satbang/satbias restart
  • obsys.rc
  • sac.nl.tmpl
  • gmao_global_ozinfo.rc -> punt to Pawsonland?

Observations to be Acquired and/or Processed

  • SSMI Radiances
  • SSMI v7 products (RR/wind speed)
  • AVHRR AMVs
    • Issue at hand for recent (post-2010) data stream. Infrastructure developed, but base observations may not actually exist (observations used for development may be from an antiquated algorithm).

Issues to address

  • Infrastructure to bring in "spun-up" satbias/satbang files. Specific issues:
    • satbang coefficients & tlapmean values - spin up from scout diags
    • satbias coefficients - substitute in from "spun-up" scout satbias_rst (some delta-time in the future)
