Workshop Purposes and Goals
As part of NOAA's Climate Data Record (CDR) program, we are holding a
day and a half workshop focusing on the AMSU/MHS/SSMT2 sensors (AMSU
emphasis on window channels). This workshop is to fulfill part of the
requirements by NOAA's CDR program office. It will be similar in focus and
format to the one on MSU/AMSU (sounding channels) and SSM/I, another CDR
project, that was held in March 2010. This meeting will be held
concurrently (March 2) and separately (March 3) from the NASA GPM X-CAL
workshop being organized by Tom Wilheit which will take place on March 1
at the same location. For those who are familiar with X-CAL, the group has
started to examine AMSU in preparation for the GPM mission.
The overarching goals for the workshop are:
- To allow NOAA's CDR Product Development Teams to interact with AMSU
and SSM/T2 data/product users and other CDR developers on relevant
aspects of sensor characteristics and intercalibration that will lead to
mature CDRs.
- To provide a formal mechanism for input by external parties with
expertise on the subject matter, in particular, sensor scientists and
engineers.
- To move towards a community consensus approach for NOAA microwave sounder CDRs.
