GHRSST-PP International project office (IPO) so that quality values can be assigned to<br />
each ingested data point, applying the rules set out by the GHRSST data processing<br />
plan, and the new L2P dataset can be generated with the quality flags attached. This<br />
completes the involvement of CMS.<br />
As soon as each L2P data set is generated in near real time the products are pushed to<br />
the core processing centre. This is at IFREMER, where use will also be made of existing<br />
operational capability in processing, archiving and distributing satellite data. The<br />
IFREMER computing facility will support a number of tasks. First is the onward<br />
dissemination of the L2P data to GHRSST and to any operational users requiring them.<br />
Second is the archiving of the L2P data. Third is the use of the L2P data in the<br />
production of the level four interpolated products, using an OI scheme configured to<br />
match the local variability statistics for the region in question. The resulting L4 products<br />
for the Mediterranean Sea will then be disseminated to users and also placed in the<br />
<strong>Medspiration</strong> archive.<br />
The L4 processor is required to accomplish two processes whose detailed specification<br />
by the user (GHRSST-PP) is still under review. These are the conversion of the L2P<br />
data from skin and subskin to foundation temperature, and the subsequent optimal<br />
interpolation that merges SST data from all sources to generate the L4 SST product. The<br />
system requirements for the L4 processor must be defined in such a way that there is no<br />
uncertainty attached to the design of the fundamental functional architecture, and that<br />
any remaining uncertainties in the user specification are confined to the content of<br />
configuration files.<br />
The fourth module in the IFREMER facility is the use of the L2P data to generate entries<br />
for the GHRSST-PP match-up data base (MDB). IFREMER is well placed to handle the<br />
extraction of satellite data from the L2P inputs that are collocated with in situ<br />
observations of SST to form the MDB records. That is because the focal point for the<br />
collection, processing, dissemination and archiving of many of Europe’s operational<br />
measurements of SST from buoys and other platforms is already based at IFREMER in<br />
the CORIOLIS project.<br />
