Current Science Software
  • L2A Brightness Temperatures V11
  • January 2011
  • Updates to accommodate Land Atmosphere Near
    real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) processing
  • Last algorithm updates
  • Version V10, April 2009
  • Compute a checksum from Latitudes, Longitudes,
    and Tb's, attach it to the L2A file as a global
    attribute, and report it in the QA file. This
    aids in corrupted file recognition.
  • RSS added the glint angles of the DirecTV 10 and
    11 satellites to the Geostationary_Satellite_Glint
    _Angles field.

8
Current Science Software
  • L2B Ocean V07
  • July 2010
  • Updates to accommodate LANCE processing
  • Last algorithm updates
  • Version V05, April 2007
  • Improved beamfilling correction to account for
    different footprint sizes of different
    frequencies
  • Include a new expression for the rain column
    height that yields more accurate rain flags (the
    third byte of the Ocean_products_quality_flag),
    which identify the proximity and intensity of
    rain useful for quality assessment of SST and
    wind speed (the meanings of the flags have not
    changed)

9
Current Science Software

  • Version B06, June 2005
  • Improve low coastal rain rates

10
Current Science Software
  • L3 Ocean V05
  • July 2010
  • Updates to metadata to accommodate LANCE
    processing
  • Last algorithm updates
  • Version V04, May 2010
  • RIF Filtering
  • DirecTV this affects the United States west
    coast and the Caribbean Islands
  • Atlantic Bird 4 in the Mediterranean Sea
  • Ascension Islands and in the Gulf of Aden
  • Update RFI filter for Hotbird/Astra

  • Correct grid projection parameters

12
Current Science Software
  • L3 Snow V10
  • August 2010
  • Updates to metadata to accommodate LANCE
    processing
  • Last algorithm update
  • Version B05, November 2005
  • Update the forest cover ancillary files. Two
    MODIS products are now used to help correct for
    forest attenuation.
  • The daily product retrievals are now performed on
    the AMSR-E individual Tb samples which are then
    averaged to the EASE-Grid 25x25 km northern and
    southern hemisphere projection grid.
  • Retrievals are calibrated for snow depth with a
    snow density climatology file used to convert
    snow depth to snow water equivalent.

13
Current Science Software
  • L3 Rain V07
  • April 2011
  • Improved quality check on input data date
  • Last algorithm update V06, April 2008
  • Skip duplicate (overlapping) scans in consecutive
    L2A files
  • Improve L2A Brightness Temperature binning for
    monthly ocean grids
  • Update the leap second ancillary file to include
    the leap second which occurred at the end of 2005

14
Current Science Software
  • L3 Sea Ice V14
  • July 2012
  • Update Southern Hemisphere sea ice mask ancillary
    files using National Ice Center (NIC) data from
    June 2011
  • Mask provided by NSIDC
  • The shoreline was developed from ENVISAT and
    RADARSAT imagery from OCT 2009 until APR 2010.
    The majority of the imagery analysis between
    FEB2010 - MAR2010.

Digital Object Identifiers
  • A character string used to uniquely identify a
    specific AMSR-E product collection
  • Metadata about the collection is stored in
    association with the DOI
  • The DOI is permanent, but the metadata for it can
    be updated as needed
