Outline
JPSS SST– From POES/EOS to JPSS (via NPOESS)– JPSS SST Product – ACSPO
(Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Oceans)– ACSPO SST replaces the initial “IDPS SST EDR”– NOAA SST Monitoring– Users
GOES-R SST: Work in progress– Himawari-8 SST Project– NOAA SST Monitoring is updated to include Geo– Polar and Geo ACSPO codes are consolidated
ACSPO – NOAA Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Ocean (ACSPO) NOAA heritage SST system, operational with AVHRR 4km/GAC & 1km/FRAC Jan 2012: Experimental with VIIRS and Terra/Aqua MODIS Mar –May 2014: Operational with VIIRS: Archived @PO.DAAC & NODC Reported in10min granules (aggregate of original 86sec granules)
IDPS – Interface Data Processing Segment (IDPS) NPOESS SST EDR was developed by Northrop Grumman Operated by Raytheon, Archived at CLASS. Transitioned to NOAA in 2010 Reported in original 86sec granules
NOAA ended up with two VIIRS SST Products Evaluation of IDPS EDR has shown large room for improvement IDPS SST has substantially improved, but still outperformed by ACSPO There was a confusion in users’ community about 2 JPSS products at NOAA Users requested ACSPO SST and expressed no interest in IDPS EDR In Jan 2014, JPSS Program Office recommends “discontinue the IDPS SST
EDR, and concentrate on ACSPO sustainment, development, and Cal/Val”
VIIRS SST Products at NOAA

STAR leads monitoring and Cal/Val of NOAA and partners’ SST products
Products are monitored online in near-real time, to ensure high quality & consistency, to support and facilitate SST applications
• Delta close to zero as expected• Cold spots – Residual Cloud/Aerosol leakages• Warm spots – Diurnal warming
JPSS and GOES-R SST 8
DAY: IDPS L2 minus CMC L416 February 2015
25 February 2015
• IDPS SST Algorithms consistent with ACSPO• Residual cloud leakages more pronounced• Diurnal Warming spots consistent with ACSPO
JPSS and GOES-R SST 9
DAY: ACSPO L2 minus in situ SST16 February 2014
25 February 2015
• Shape close to Gaussian, cold tail suggests residual cloud• Performance Stats well within specs (Bias<0.2K, STD<0.6K)
JPSS and GOES-R SST 10
NIGHT: IDPS L2 minus in situ SST16 February 2015
25 February 2015
• Cold tail more pronounced – more residual cloud• Performance Stats degraded compared to ACSPO• On this particular day, IDPS is not meeting specs
DAY STD DEV wrt. in situ SST
IDPS SST improved but still out of family & not meeting specs
25 February 2015 JPSS and GOES-R SST 11
• Wrt. OSTIA SST, the pedestal is smaller– OSTIA “internal noise” smaller
• Both OSISAF and ACSPO STDs are reduced, but OSISAF to a greater extent. Recall that OSISAF L2 is assimilated in OSTIA L4 and ACSPO is not
All ACSPO products from AVHRR, MODIS,and VIIRS in family and meeting specs

Some Early Results Assimilating ACSPO VIIRS L2P Datasets

ACSPO VIIRS L2P Datasets
• Received courtesy of colleagues at STAR
• Two periods: 1 Jan – 31 Mar 2014 & 15 Aug – 9 Sep 2013
• Experiments carried out assimilating VIIRS data only and VIIRS data in combination with other satellite products
• Rely on independent data from Argo floats to verify results (Argo floats do not sample coastal regions or marginal seas)

Assessing relative value of 2 VIIRS datasets: NAVO vs. ACSPO
Using ACSPO improves CMC assimilation, at all latitudes
25 February 2015 14JPSS and GOES-R SST
CMC Summary
• ACSPO VIIRS L2P is an excellent product
• Daily coverage with this product is very good over internal and coastal waters, in the Tropics, and in the High Latitudes
• Based on the Jan – Mar 2014 sample, ACSPO VIIRS contains more information than either the NAVO VIIRS, OSI-SAF Metop-A or the RSS AMSR2 datasets
• CMC assimilated ACSPO VIIRS SST in May 2014, as soon as it was archived at PO.DAAC and NODC

SST is an essential climate variable
VIIRS/ABI unprecedented imagery, accuracy, precision, spatial/temporal resolution lead to superior SST analysis, forecast, applications
JPSS SST is fused with other satellite and in situ SSTs, to produce blended L4 products. GOES-R SST will be included in analyses
VIIRS/ABI resolution & quality is unique, and allows exploration of new techniques: Pattern recognition, Temporal analysis, and Radiative transfer methodology
Continuous monitoring and validation of the products in near real time is needed, for optimal applications
