The University of Wisconsin-Madison SSEC is pleased to announce the release of the NOAA/NESDIS/STAR Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Oceans (ACSPO) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) retrieval software for VIIRS, MODIS and AVHRR imagers. ACSPO development is led by Alexander Ignatov of the NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), in conjunction with John Sapper of the NOAA/NESDIS Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO). This CSPP release was created in close collaboration with John Stroup and Yury Kihai at STAR.
CSPP_ACSPO_1_0 release provides ACSPO version 2.31, adapted and tested for operation in a real-time direct broadcast environment. The software contains binary executable files and supporting static data files, as well as input and output files for verification of a successful installation.
System requirements for the CSPP ACSPO v1.0 software are as follows:
I
- ntel or AMD CPU with 64-bit instruction support,
8 GB RAM,
CentOS-6 64-bit Linux (or other compatible 64-bit Linux distribution),
5 GB of disk space (plus space for your own DB data and CSPP ACSPO products).
- Suomi NPP VIIRS SDR (from CSPP or CLASS),
NOAA-15,16,17,18,19 and Metop-A,B AVHRR (from AAPP v7 or CLASS),
MODIS Aqua and Terra L1B (from IMAPP or NASA LANCE/LAADS).
A local bias file will be generated for each instrument with the first dataset that is processed by CSPP ACSPO V1.0. These bias files will be updated by every subsequent granule or overpass processed, therefore accumulating over the users' local region of interest. Complete installation, execution and product information is included with the release.
CSPP development is led by the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with funding support from the NOAA/NASA Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS). The CSPP ACSPO software can be downloaded from:
