Preparing for a storm: The MOPITT SIPS experience

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

MOPITT was established at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to process data from raw instrument counts to observations of Carbon Monoxide and Methane. This Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) was quickly deployed prior to launch as an alternative to data processing within the Earth Observing System (EOS) Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Core System (ECS). The system was tested a few months before launch and soon became operational. During testing and after launch, many lessons were learned due to the divergence between assumptions and reality.
