The NOAA-15 HIRS 24-hour calibration test input file was reset to make
it coincide with the operational file (except for the planck constants
change). We believe this will eliminate any problems seen in the N15
HIRS test data.
Updated level 1B test data for all NOAA-15 and 16 instruments has been
provided on the anonymous ftp server (psbsgi1.nesdis.noaa.gov;
Subdirectory - pub/test1b/R2.9A). Both NOAA-15 and 16 are running in
parallel to the operation on the CEMSCS with the except that the NOAA-15
GHRR is run by request (current orbit on the CEMSCS for GHRR is for
D01347.S1355). Orbit parameters in the header are zeroed out in the
test data. Next week these parameters will be turned back on. An
implementation date will be set for mid January.
Please contact us if you have any problems or questions.
Thank you for your support.
