Details/Specifics of Change:

Install NDE release 2.0.18

This installation is planned to be done during back orbits. NDE will not be ingesting, processing or distributing data during installation.M-B No data loss expected, but there will be a possible backlog of processing when installation is complete.

Algorithm changes are as follows:

1) NUCAPS low resolution products in NetCDF and BUFR formats:

The products will have IDPS generated VIIRS Cloud Mask and Cloud Height replaced with JPSSRR (JPSS Risk Reduction) generated Enterprise VIIRS Cloud Mask and Cloud Height.

Please note: Existing PDA subscriptions need not to change by the users because the file short names in PDA for these products will not be changed.

The newly generated NetCDF4 and BUFR products have the following filenames and corresponding PDA product shortnames:

New (NUCAPS 4.3):

File name NUCAPS-C0399_v2r0_npp_s*.bufr M-BM-BM-BM-BM-BM-BM-BShortname CrIS_C0399_BUFR

2) GCOM AMSR2 products will be updated to include the following changes:

- An update to the Ocean SSW algorithm

- An update to the Precipitation (GPROF) algorithm

- A few minor updates to fix a typo in the seaice algorithm and the netCDF metadata, and also keep the version number same across all data files.

- A change to the version number from v2r0 to v2r1 for the MBT, SOIL, SNOW, SEAICE data files, but no changes to their PDA shortnames

3) MiRS ATMS products will be updated from v11r3 to v11r4 with the following changes:

- Updated radiometric bias corrections for NOAA-20/ATMS.

- NOAA-20 Snowfall Rate maturity status updated from Beta to provisional.

- Addition of two new QC flags for Snowfall Rate for S-NPP and NOAA-20.

- Addition of probability of snowfall for S-NPP and NOAA-20.

- Addition of metadata attribute "coordinates" for all relevant variables in the output netCDF4 files to enhance CF compliance.

- An updated sea ice climatology mask based on 9 years of operational IMS analyses. The mask has a higher spatial (1 degree) and temporal (weekly) resolution than the previous climatology.

- Fix for the problem with occasional S-NPP granules in which the end time attribute metadata was incorrect.

- A change to the version number from v11r3 to V11r4 for the granule files. No changes to the 33-mins files and PDA shortname.
