CSPP SDR Version 4.0 Software Release

Post by kathys »

CSPP Software Release: NOAA-21, NOAA-20, SNPP SDR Version 4.0 Software for VIIRS, CrIS, ATMS and OMPS

Dear Colleagues,

The University of Wisconsin Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) is pleased to announce the release of the Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) Sensor Data Record (SDR) Software Version 4.0 in support of NOAA-21, NOAA-20 and Suomi-NPP VIIRS, CrIS, ATMS and OMPS instruments. SSEC has packaged the Algorithm Development Library (ADL) versions of the NOAA-21, NOAA-20 and SNPP algorithms so they can run from the Linux command line in real-time direct broadcast mode, but we have not changed the underlying processing software, algorithms, or data formats. The output files from the CSPP SDR processing software are identical in naming, format, and structure to the corresponding files from NOAA/NESDIS.

What is new in CSPP SDR Version 4.0:
• NOAA-21 satellite support added.
• Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Nadir Profiler and Nadir Mapper support added.
• Updated code base: Block 2.3 Mx7 (ADL 5.3_I2.3.07.00).
• Optional installation script available.
• New Look-Up-Table (LUT) external distribution site: JPSS_REMOTE_LUT_DIR=http://jpssdb.ssec.wisc.edu/cspp_luts_v_6_0/
• http downloads are now the default for ancillary and Look-Up-Table (LUT) downloads. Previous versions used https.
• CrIS Normal Spectral Resolution (NSR) output is no longer supported. CrIS Full Spectral Resolution (FSR) is now the default and only output.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The CSPP Environmental Data Record (EDR) software (Active Fires, ACSPO, ASCI, Land Surface Reflectance, Flood Detection, HEAP NUCAPS and MiRS) products created from NOAA-21 SDR inputs are yet to be approved by NOAA.

The CSPP SDR Version 4.0 Software Supports Unique Features:
• Optional multi-core processing to reduce wait times while the SDR data are created (supported for VIIRS, CrIS, and ATMS),
• Optional aggregation and compression of SDR output files,
• Automated download of required ancillary data at runtime, plus offline scripted downloads,
• Offline scripted downloads of calibration lookup tables (LUTS),
• Filtering of incomplete spacecraft diary and science arrays in RDRs based upon standard sizes, ensuring accurate calibration/geolocation.

System requirements for CSPP SDR Version 4.0:

• 64-bit Intel or AMD CPU with 8 cores (minimum);
• 32 GB RAM (minimum), plus an additional 4GB of RAM for every core that is used for CSPP VIIRS SDR processing;
• CentOS 7.9 64-bit Linux (the software has also been tested on Rocky Linux 8.7);
• 100 GB disk space (minimum);
• Internet connection (for downloading ancillary data).

Note: For routine real-time processing of SNPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 HRD, a Linux server running Rocky Linux 8 with 64 cores, 256 GB RAM, and 8 TB hard drive space is recommended.

Software, test data and installation instructions are all available at the CSPP download site. Please use the 'Contact Us' form from our website to submit any questions or comments to CSPP.
