Overview of Purpose of the Review
 Overview of existing (and required) tools developed in the GSICS
 GDWG
•
GSICS plotting tool by EUMETSAT (Java and GWT)
•
SRF netCDF converter by NOAA (python)
•
netCDF metadata checker by NOAA (Java and shellscript)
 GRWG
•
GIRO (GSICS Implementation of the ROLO model) by EUMETSAT (C)
•
GIRO input/output handling utilities by EUMETSAT (IDL)
•
GIRO output netCDF checker: GRWG requirment in Dec. 2014
– GLCWS_14.10 The GSICS Data Working Group is asked to develop a procedure
for verifying users’ implementation
… would be achieved using netCDF generation tool (next agenda item)
 Purpose of this presentation
 To discuss resources for maintaining/updating existing tools, if needed

GSICS Calibration Products Plotting Tool
http://gsics.tools.eumetsat.int/plotter/
 GPRCs have their own product monitoring/plotting websites
 “GSICS Plotting Tool” has been developed at EUMETSAT
•
•
•
•
Common look and feel (easy comparison among multiple products)
Dynamical plotting (no need to prepare lots of figures)
At present, GEO-LEO-IR is only supported
Requirement documents would be prepared by GRWG for new GSICS products
(i.e. GEO-LEO-VNIR) … to be discussed at agenda item 6g
GSICS 2016 GDWG Breakout Session
Tools regarding netCDF generation/check
 SRF (Spectral Response Function) netCDF converter (python)
• Developed by NOAA (Aleksandar Jelenak) to support GRWG activities
• Updated by JMA (Masaya Takahashi)
• The SRF netCDF is actually used in GIRO as one of the input data
 NetCDF metadata checker (Java and shellscript)
• Developed to support the generation of GSICS products by each GPRC
• Helpful for Convention check (GSICS and/or CF Convention), but NOT actually used
• FYI: CF-convention checker http://puma.nerc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/cf-checker.pl
• These function could be incorporated to netCDF generation tool
• So, we may not have to develop/maintain these two tools. What do you think?

Discussion
Resources for
• Developing new Tools: would be discussed in 6f
• Updating existing Plotting Tool: would be discussed in 6g
Any other issues to be discussed here?
