Topic: NOAA-20 (JPSS-1) Key Performance Parameter (KPP) Data Release/Activation on PDA

Date/Time Issued: April 2, 2018 1425 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: NOAA-20 (JPSS-1) Key Performance Parameters (KPPs)

Date/Time of Initial Impact: April 2, 2018 at 1500 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: N/A

Length of Event: N/A

Details/Specifics of Change: NESDIS will activate the NOAA-20 KPP data sets on the Product Distribution and Access (PDA) system on April 2, 2018 starting at 1500 UTC. KPP’s are those NOAA-20 products that have reached provisional/operational status listed below. PDA users subscribed to the SNPP versions of these products should verify that a specified satellite is selected within your respective PDA subscription; otherwise, you will begin to see the NOAA-20 versions of the products arrive at your interface once those aforementioned products are activated.

The list of NOAA-20 provisional/operational products are:

The Beta, Provisional and Full Validation Readiness definitions are:

· Beta -

o Product is minimally validated, and may still contain significant identified and unidentified errors.

o Information/data from validation efforts can be used to make initial qualitative or very limited quantitative assessments regarding product fitness-for-purpose.

o Documentation of product performance and identified product performance anomalies, including recommended remediation strategies, exists.

· Provisional

o Product performance has been demonstrated through analysis of a large, but still limited (i.e., not necessarily globally or seasonally representative) number of independent measurements obtained from selected locations, time periods, or field campaign efforts.

o Product analyses are sufficient for qualitative, and limited quantitative, determination of product fitness-for-purpose.

o Documentation of product performance, testing involving product fixes, identified product performance anomalies, including recommended remediation strategies, exists.

o Product is recommended for potential operational use (user decision) and in scientific publications after consulting product status documents.

· Full Validation

o Product performance has been demonstrated over a large and wide range of representative conditions (i.e., global, seasonal).

o Comprehensive documentation of product performance exists that includes all known product anomalies and their recommended remediation strategies for a full range of retrieval conditions and severity level.

o Product analyses are sufficient for full qualitative and quantitative determination of product fitness-for-purpose.

o Product is ready for operational use based on documented validation findings and user feedback.

o Product validation, quality assurance, and algorithm stewardship continue through the lifetime of the instrument.
