Build/test the SOCA bundle
Centralized server(s) holding observations in their original file formats:
FNMOC
NESDIS: RADS, L-2 SST, CryoSat-2 Thickness
NCEP data tank
SMAP SSS retreivals
EMC sea-ice fraction (SSMI, SSMI-S, AMSR-2)
GODAS observation data base available on Theia
Build Stephen Herbener's IODA-IO, if available (including the python interfaces).
Make sure all current Marine UFO's are in working order (Travis & Guillaume).
Setup HofX and 3DVAR cycling experiment (Rahul, Travis & Guillaume).
Prepare the nonlinear, tangent and adjoint of the cool skin UFO. (Hamideh & Guillaume).
Some of us will work on the UFO during the 2 weeks, but for the most part, week 1 will be on IODA interfaces and week 2 on UFO's.
Objectives: Provide observations to SOCA for cycling experiments. Develop interfaces to databases for NOAA/EMC and NASA/GMAO, usable in the SOCA cycling workflow. We will make use of Stephen Herbener's IODA-IO python package, if available.
Note: Describe the observation type you are working on in Stephen Herbener's IODA wiki.
We will reassess our week 2 objectives at the end of the first week. In the meantime here is the tentative work plan: Refactor the existing marine UFO and implement new UFO’s (including the basic QC needed to run a 3DVAR application).
