The <strong>Earth</strong> Observer July - August 2012 Volume 24, Issue 4 31<br />
Norman Loeb led a final wrap-up of the various breakout<br />
meetings held during the meeting. A list of action<br />
Action Items from the Spring 2012 CERES Science Team Meeting<br />
items that arose from that discussion are included in the<br />
box below.<br />
Instrument Working Group<br />
Complete work on modifying FM 3 Clouds beginning of mission spectral response function, and comparisons<br />
with the Scanner for Radition Budget (ScaRaB) 6 for the fall CERES Science Team Meeting.<br />
Clouds Working Group<br />
Determine reason for differences between runs of Clouds Edition 4 on different platforms, and monitor<br />
VIIRS status and assess impacts of degradation in VIIRS responsivity.<br />
Angular Distribution Model (ADM) and Top-of-Atmosphere ADM Fluxes Working Group<br />
Continue Edition 4 ADM development and assessment of Edition 4 Clouds from ADM perspective, and<br />
adopt and refine validation tests (e.g., multiangle consistency, direct integration).<br />
SOFA Working Group<br />
Make Edition 4 improvements in line with Clouds Edition 4, and comparisons with SARB fluxes and<br />
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) ocean buoy data.<br />
SARB Working Group<br />
Add EBAF-SFC to Observations for Model Incomparison Studies (Obs4MIPS) archive, and perform comparisons<br />
with WHOI ocean buoy data.<br />
TISA Working Group<br />
Update lite products and EBAF Edition 2.6r (sub-release) through end of 2011, submit update of EBAF to<br />
Obs4MIP archive, and deliver CERES fluxbycloudtype code.<br />
Data Management Working Group<br />
Continue partial automation effort in time to speed up Edition 4 SSF processing, and incorporate other<br />
subsystems into partial-automation system.<br />
Subsetter Group<br />
Add FLASHFLUX Level 3 subsetting/visualization/ordering, and provide anomaly maps for any given<br />
variable.<br />
meeting/workshop summaries<br />
Students’ Cloud Observations On-Line (S’COOL)<br />
Provide some analysis of 100,000 student-generated cloud observations.<br />
6<br />
ScaRaB is a collaborative <strong>Earth</strong> Radiation Budget (ERB) project supported by France, Russia, and Germany, intended to<br />
provide a continuation of the ERB Experiment scanner mission.<br />
Full presentations are available on the CERES web site at science.larc.nasa.gov/ceres. The next CERES Science Team<br />
Meeting will be hosted by the Geophysics Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, October 22–26, 2012 in Princeton, NJ.
