Details/Specifics of Change:

This installation of NDE release 2.0.23 is planned to occur during back orbits. NDE will not be ingesting, processing or distributing data during installation. No data loss expected, but there will be a possible backlog of processing when installation is complete.

New products included in this release are:

Hyper-Spectral Enterprise Algorithm Package(HEAP) :

The Hyper-Spectral Enterprise Algorithm Package (HEAP) is replacing the NOAA Unique Combined Atmospheric Processing System (NUCAPS). The HEAP will produce enhanced science quality of Temperatures, Moisture, Ozone, and Trace Gases profiles. There are NO file name or short name changes, so users need not to make any changes in their subscriptions.

OMPS Limb Profile:

Creation of the OMPS Limb Profile EDR at NDE and its conversion to BUFR products will provide the products in NRT on an operational system. The EDRs will also be used as input to provide improved stratospheric information in a new version of the TOAST (Ozone blended products from OMPS LP and CrIS data) products.This project will address the OMPS LP Sensor Data Record (SDR), Ozone Profile and Ozone Total Column Environmental Data Records (EDRs) from S-NPP with performance requirements captured in the JPPS L1RD Supplement. Our Users are NWS , WMO Ozone Assessment.

Please note: This upgrade will not be performed during Critical Weather Day (CWD).
