Regular Technical Algorithm/Performance Oriented
Meetings
This list is not meant to be exhaustive.

• SE IPT chairs VIIRS (weekly) and CrIS/ATMS
  (bi-weekly) Algorithm Performance meetings
• Discuss both hardware and software topics of
  importance to algorithm and product performance
• Detailed technical discussions
• Wide attendance
• POCs Phil Moffa for CrIS, ATMS, CMIS Debra
  Olejniczak for VIIRS
• P/L SE IPTs organize weekly OMPS technical
  telecons
• Similar scope to above VIIRS, CrIS/ATMS meetings
• POCs Raymond Crew Maria Caponi

7
Regular Technical Algorithm/Performance Oriented
Meetings, contd

• Regular Operational Algorithm Team (OAT) meetings
  are held
• The OATs are advisors to the IPO
• SSPR team utilizes OATs for recommendations,
  peer reviews, and possible assistance on
  ongoing algorithm tasks
• All OATs meet nominally every 6 months at a joint
  NOAT meeting
• Discuss both hardware and software topics of
  importance to algorithm and product performance
• Detailed technical discussions
• Wide attendance includes OATs, IPO, SSPR team,
  multiple IPTs
• OATs meetings are one of the best ways to flow
  external science community comments and
  recommendations to SSPR team
• POCs Jim Duda, IPO Pam Emch, NGST

There are Algorithm (Splinter) Sessions at
Regular Program Meetings
The topics and length of these sessions will be
on an as-needed basis.

• Algorithm Splinter at PMRs
• Every month nominally 2 hrs. long
• Excellent opportunity for cross-IPT discussions
  at a management level
• NGST/RC PMR attendees are normally IPT leads, not
  necessarily technical task executors
• POC Emch
• Algorithm Session at SEI F2F meetings
• Approx. every 2 months length determined by
  topics
• Attendees are primarily SEI, both technical and
  management
• Good opportunity to have mid-level technical
  discussions regarding SEI tasks issues
• Possible to discuss cross-IPT topics based on
  attendees
• Very detailed discussions may require separate
  focus meetings
• POC Emch

9
There are Algorithm (Splinter) Sessions at
Regular Program Meetings, contd
The topics and length of these sessions will be
on an as-needed basis.

• Algorithm Session at IDPS F2F meetings
• Every 6 weeks length determined by topics
• Attendees are primarily IDPS, both technical and
  management
• Emch to provide top-level alg status (PMR
  status) remaining portion of session led by SE
• Good opportunity to have mid-level technical
  discussions regarding joint IDPS/SE tasks
  issues with access to the broader IDPS team
• Should segue to include STE and OS
• Very detailed discussions may require separate
  focus meetings
• POC TBD within SE IPT
